Cask, Great Western, Cardiff. Dark reddish brown colour with next to no head. Sweet and malty with some fruit and a dryish finish. Drinkable, but reeks of mediocrity.

Bottle. Deep, reddish brown body, with a small, beige head. The aroma has a good dash of caramel, as well as roasted malt and chocolate. Nice caramel and chocolate flavor as well, but even for a mild, I would like some more hops, as it is very low on bitterness. Medium to thin body, feeling quite dusty in the mouth. The finish is quite dry, with chocolate and roasted malt. A quite nice beer, but a bit unbalanced. (070913)
