Pours deep redish mahogany brown. A super-fine, staying, creamy off-white head on top. Aroma is soft, sweet caramel, some chocolate and light hops. Very low carbonation - fitting the beer nicely. Flavour is great, softly roasted, light doughy, sweet chocolate and subdued hops. A good mild. maeib (3816), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Apr 17, 2008 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Coventry BF. A dark dark brown coloured beer verging on ruby. The aroma is really hoppy together with chocolate and caramel. The taste is delicious. Great hops together with lovely fruits and chocolate. Real quality this. DruncanVeasey (1533), Burbage, Croatia Apr 11, 2008 Updated: Apr 12, 2008Covfest ’08. Mild?? Didn’t drink like one. Stouty with ruby tints. VERY blackcurranty opening dominates with big fruity hops, lemon, vanilla, smooth chocolate, long biscuity finish. Crisp, zinging and good. Classic festival-opener.
