Cask. A nut-brown beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of perfume and malt as well as a touch of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as a light note of alcohol.

Cask. I recorded this as being 5.5% ABV. Clear dark amber golden with a rough off-white head. Sweet aroma of cake spices. Medium body, sweet roasted malt and burned caramel. The finish has warming alcohol but no hops really. 200110

Cask Stillage at NWAF The Venue, Miles Platting 20/01/2010 (ABV 5.5%) Floral malt aroma. Amber mid brown coloured fruity and a little rich and creamy on the palate. A hint of bitterness in a dry malt finish.

The major flavour to come out of this beer is toffee malt which dominates the bitterness and slight fruitiness. (Cask @ Liverpool Beer Festival)
