(Cask at Lion Tavern, Liverpool, 19 July 2009) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with chocolate, prunes and raisins. Roasted, malty taste with notes of cola, chocolate and dark fruit. As expected quite thin body, but well balanced and tasty. Good mild. (According to Good Beer Guide -09 it is now supposed to be brewed by Thwaites for Carlsberg UK.)

Brown; light, vaguely sweet; dark nuts & malts. I did not have this on cask, but keg, as I got caught in the rain and ended up in some chain pub and this was all they had that looked even halfway interesting.
