Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Dark mahogany with a small beige head. Ashy aroma with some honey malt in the background. Malty taste with a late and rather watery cloying sweetness of a type I don’t really like. Slight bitterness.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Roasted & smoked caramel sweet malt. Nice deep copper color. Complex aroma - nutty, spicy, syrupy, burbony, woody, bittery. Low carbonated. Dry roasted sweet aftertaste.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Smokiness inherent in the aroma and aftertaste with some sweet malty raisin tones which seem pleasant to the mouthtone at first but become dominated by a sour charcoal like yeasty-ness. Overall, not a bad beer except for what lies in the finish.

with unpleasant phenolic yeast flavours. Poorly bottled and the beer
itself seems underwhelming
