Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival 6th and 7th Feb 2009 Pours a dark brown with a red tinge and large off white big bubbly head. Plenty of earthy hops present themselves initially and there are sponge and biscuity flavours coming to the fore. There is a light citrussy note and its a likeable if not exactly stunning beer.

[500ml bottle from Tesco Haverfordwest] Black with russet hints and a slight cream head. Loads of chocolate and brown sugar, with some coffee and smoke in there too. Slightly sticky and metallic aftertaste detracts from what is otherwise an excellent mild.
