bobinlondon (485), Harrow, Greater London, England Dec 31, 2008 Handpulled cask at the Malt Shovel. Northampton. Black with a good creamy beige unsparkled head. Dry in flavour without much malt profile. Smooth and easy drinking. knocking spots off most keg stouts. MesandSim (4723), Highgate, Greater London, England Oct 1, 2007 A Sim rate (cask at St Albans BF): Tastes like celery salt. Very savoury and oily. Slight roasty flavour with a very bitter finish. Very bland aroma. What I can smell is nice - fruit, malt.... But not much and you have to struggle to smell it. Watery palate. leaparsons (4180), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Sep 18, 2007 Cask, Melton Fest 07. Almost black with a small head. Aromas are mellow berries with chocolate and ligtht, earthy roast malts. Flavours are earthy coffee with caramel and toffee. Smoky with mollasses. Tastes dark. Decent.
