50 cl bottle @ HBF. Rated on 21.05.2010
Aroma has honey, English hops and hints of hay. Flavour has somewhat artifical honey notes, hay, English hops, caramel and toffee. 10 cl of this stuff was definitely enough. It seeems that Joseph Holt is not one of my favourite breweries.

Aroma is somewhat nutty with some caramel, English hops and toffee. Flavour has caramel malt, some toffee, nuts and grassy hops. Quite straightforward and boring.

Aroma has English hops, toffee and some floral notes. Flavour is somewhat sweet with English hops, toffee, caramel and distant floral notes. Thin palate. Easy‐going, but still not my kind of bitter.

On a permanent pump at The Ape and Apple in Manchester city centre. This is a very black mild with a diminishing creamy head. Fairly smooth and crisp but not big in flavour.

Clear dark brown in appearance, it has little aroma or flavour, but makes up with a very good texture.

500ml Bottle: best before 20 Dec 2012, poured @ home into a UK pint sleeve on 15 Nov 2012. The beer was obtained from my local B&M Bargains Store. Nice deep, dark ruby red colour with a full uneven covering of tan foam on top. Brown sugar type malty molasses in the nose and taste: this is a malts first and foremost brew. Prunes, plums and mixed nuts vie for your attention in the flavours as the malts and hops go to work with each other. The body is moving towards rich and thick: the beer reminded me of those old winter warmers because it has that sort of Christmassy fireside taste and palate. Cheap to buy: well worth the cost and I’ll be getting some more in for December.

On tap @ the Old Monkey, Manchester. Pours dark chestnut to black with quite a lot of glints of light coming through. The nose is not as chocolate as expected, and I would say this was somewhere between a bitter and a mild in reality. The taste is pretty much the same, some chocolate notes, but a lot of biscuity-ness. The palate is medium bodied and textured but the finish lacks elegance being a bit astringent. Overall, it’s ok but unlikely to revisit.
