Cask@SBWF2007. Colour is dark rubyish red with longlasting beige head. Aroma is mild roastyness along with cocoa and wood. Flavour is pretty much the same. Reminds quite a lot of a mild ale in my opinion...

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Reddish golden. Evident honey aroma. Sweet and medium bodied, sticky with honey everywhere I look. No bitterness. A sticky mess.

Yeah, all I know is that this is for the bitter served there now. Quickly descending head and a pale gold body. Smells of black bread. Pretty bitter taste Some hops were present in there as well. A little yeast in the aftertaste. Overall it is a pretty good bitter.
