Bottled at RBESG. Black, small brief head. Almost still. Rich coffee aroma. Dry with gentle, rounded, soothing mouthfeel. Very roasty, yet soothing. Some chocolate. Mild, unusual and very enjoyable.

A black beer with a disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with notes of chocolate, and so is the flavor with a dry roasted end. The body is thin, which surprises me. Nice Mild.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] A hazy orange beer with no head. The aroma is slightly fruity combined with notes of raspberries. The flavor is very sweet and very fruity and somewhat hoppy - is it Goldings? the flavor also contains some notes of wheat. It is too sweet for me.

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. ABV was listed as 4%, but brewery website says 4.1%. Intensely clear red (and I mean RED - like a cranberry soda) colour. Minimal carbonation. Moderate cranberry aroma. Very thin mouthfeel - like water with artificial red colouring added. The colour makes you expect something very sweet, but it is not. Not sour either. Relatively dry, actually, with just a very moderate flavour of cranberries and some faint hops. Not much wheat character. Did I mention a thin and watery mouthfeel? Yes, I know it’s not a fruit lambic, but I feel entitled to expect something better than this. Better leave brewing fruit beers to the Belgians, I guess ....

A hazy orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty with hints of citrus, while the flavor is sour like citrus-fruits combined with some malt sweetness.
