Druaght at Euston Tap, London. Dark amber, small head. Malty aroma, roasted. Malty flavor, bready, some chocolate.

Bottle bought at Baileys Delicatessen, Beccles. Pours a dark amber, a little ruby red with a carbonated off-white head. The aroma is quite a rich malty chocolate with a little sweet fruitiness. Light and a touch oily over the tongue, the initial taste is yeasty and slightly fruity then a malty dusting of cocoa sweetness appears which gradually fades into a cheap chocolate aftertaste. I’m genuinely stunned by this beer, as I was expecting much more of a caramel taste but it’s the chocolate and malty flavours that shine here. Rather good and from Suffolk (where I’m staying as I write this review) too.

Draught @ Euston Tap, 190 Euston Road, London, Greater London, England NW1 2EF.

Clear medium to dark brown amber colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, bread, toffee, earthy notes. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and light moderate bitter with a average to long duration, caramel, nutty. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20111230]

Draught@Euston Tap, London. Deep amber colour, not much for a head. Aroma is caramel, malts and some mild bitter notes. Flavour is caramel, malts and some mild bitterness.

Dark copper/brown color. Light tan, small, head that quickly turns to a thin layer of bubbles. No lacing. Malty aromas with a roasted nut character. A slight bit of vanilla. Very sharp carbonic bite up front. Follow that up with a bit of sweet maltiness. Pretty watered down roasted flavor. Thin. It’s alright.
