Bottle picked up at Chiltern Brewery yesterday and consumed at dad’s, Kilburn near Derby on Saturday 25th July 2015 in the company of Dad, Pauline, Scott and Mandy. Pours black with a tan head, a little oily, liquoricey and quite thick in the mouth, loads of dark burnt sugar. Thick in mouth, sweet. Some warmth, a little bitterness, it’s good but I don’t think it is great. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Cask at Reading BF. Jet black with a loose off-white head. Pleasant chocolate, vanilla and roasted malt up front become unpleasantly slimy chocolate on tasting. Rather sweet too but with a hint of vomit. An unusually sub-standard beer for this brewery and a poor start to the beer festival. Got really slimy by the end- the beer itself, not the festival.

Cask (backlog). Orangeish amber colour with a small head. Aroma is toffee, some bready malts, mild honey, nectar and citrus along with some sap and resin. Flavour is toffee, quite crisp biscuity maltiness as well as some floral, wooden, mildly toasted and quite nicely on the sweetside to coverup the mellow bitterness.

Hazy deep amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy, smooth and semi dry. Fine carbonation. Smooth semi dry malts, little creamy sweetness. Spot of spice. Tangy fruits and a little Coca Cola. Mild floralness before a dry and slightly bitter finish. Not bad.
