cgarvieuk (2071), Edinburgh, Scotland Mar 5, 2007 A brown coloured brew, with a light malty chocolate flavour. A nice simple pint. chris_o (4395), London, Greater London, England Nov 19, 2006 Cask (handpump), Knights Templar (JDW), Chancery Lane, London. A dark ruby coloured brew with a beige head. Roasty aroma, but there’s some unwelcome diacetyl in there. Lost of roast malt in the flavour with a touch of creamy chocolate. Fairly sweet. A decent enough mild, but there’s not really anything particularly magic, or potion-like, about it.
GarethYoung (1108), Glasgow, Scotland Sep 7, 2006 [cask at JDW] Aroma of chocolate, caramel. medium - thin body with a sweet finish. Joeh (1892), Buckinghamshire, England Jun 5, 2006 Cask at the Market Porter, Southwark. Dark, almost black but with ruby hints. The beer lacks body and is rather boring, with a fairly bland taste with quite a lot of fruit. No character. dnas2 (522), Yelverton, Devon., Devon, England May 25, 2006 Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Dark and creamy with a good head. Chocolate and caramel aromas but lacking in flavour. Not bad but pretty average.
