Cask at the Woolpack Beer Festival 08, Banbury, Oxon, in the company of Glen, Trev and a good sprinkling of local CAMRA members This beer poured a very dark brown and had a wonderful light tan head, it looked quite perfect. There was some light cocoa powder on the nose nice milk chocolate creaminess to this beer, very chocolatey quite indulgent and so moreish. There were other things than chocolate like some nice soft roasty flavours and coffee but these really didn’t interest me it was the chocolate and richness and smoothness of this beer that appealed to me. If you like chocolate you’ll love it, I did.

Cask-conditioned at The Royal Oak, Bath 14/9/08. Mahogany coloured with no head. Very fruity with lots of red fruit but balanced by a decent bitter finish. This grew on me throughout the pint. Good stuff.

Cask at Bar Nouveau, GBBF. Deep, devil-black body with a russet tint. Sweet chocolate malts to the nose. Rounded chocolate flavour supported by roasted malts. Well bodied with a silky palate. One of the best Mild ale I have had so far. Recommendable (07.08.2008).

Cask, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 Good easy drinking crisp and refreshing summery beer, pale gold in colour with white head it was perhaps a little bit shy on the bitterness front but it more than made up fro this in its nice gentle fruity character and all round drinkability, I liked it!

[i] [b] Cask conditioned at FFTMC, Oxford, 28-05-08 [/i] [/b] Pours straw colour, very pale, with a small white clingy head. As the description states and I duly noted there were some lovely light hoppy floral notes. This is a jolly decent bitter, simple citrusy flavours, good bitterness, some malts showing, dry at end. This is a cracking session beer that was very tasty, I really liked this beer.
