Cask at the NWAF, 2012. My notes didn’t note down the colour but I imagine it was dark! Dark roast coffee aroma with a hint of vanilla and smoke. Chocolate, vanilla and coffee flavour. Very tasty.

Bottle at the 2nd East Croydon Beer Tasting, thanks to Leighton. It pours very dark brown, with ruby highlights and a decent beige head. The nose is nail varnish remover, sweet ripe berry (blueberry & cherry) and syrup. The taste is sweet blueberry, blackberry, roasted malt, wood, dryness, alcohol warmth and chocolate, with a dry finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. This is indeed a big mild.

Bottle at East Croydon Beer Tasting. Pours dark brown with ruby highlights, a sturdy beige head. Fruity, dark malt aroma. Medium big sweet flavor, some dough, dark fruits, semi-dark sugars. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Faint warm finish, plenty of sugars, more fruits, some bread and dough. Not bad.
