From cask at Wenlocks Arms. Pours clear and golden deep amber to maghogany brown with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and slight breadish. Dark malty flavoured, light fruity and with a slight sweet impression. Rather dry bitter and roasted malt. Lasting breadish impression and bitter to citric hops intermixed with this. Ends dry.

An earnest brew served up at GBBF ’10, very important I find. Very dark brown pour with a beige head. Coffee, caramel, malty nose. Rich flavours of chocolate, (camp)coffee and toffee. Very smooth. Slight bitterness in the finish. Good stuff.

Cask, gravity at The White Horse, Hedgerley, Bucks, 30.07.10 Talk about saving the best till last, this was a cracker. I came back the following day and sadly it was already gone and yet it hadn’t even been put on until gone seven that night. Chuffed to see that someone else really liked this. Pours gold with a white bubbly head. The bitterness streaks across the tongue, its a real tongue lasher. The aroma is good, snappy and citrussy. Some pithiness in the mouth, the bitterness is always there but well contained, although slightly numbing on the tongue, lovely beer. A8 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 4.0

Cask at the CASK Pub & Kitchen on 31 July 2010. Clear, dark brown with small grey foam head. Aroma of sweet fruits/fruitcake, burnt roasted malts in main kick with tinges of smokiness, and a bittersweet slightly smoky finish. Mouthfeel is smooth to light. A delicious mild, worth seeking out.
