Aug 18, 2008 Cask at The Royal Standard, (The Brewery Tap), Derby 17-08-08 Rather amusingly I wrote this down as Dashing Duck. Pours very dark brown. Nice roasted nutty taste, bitterness is present but lovely creamy flavours. This isn’t a classic beer but its done very well little bit chewy and malty, but very nice.

Aug 14, 2008 Cask at the Brewery Tap, Derby. Black with a raspberry red tint and a tan head; aroma of milky chocolate malts; taste is thin at first but fills out with rich roast coffee leaving a finish of dry coffee grounds. More of a porter than an ESB.

Mar 13, 2007 Cask, Derby Winter Fest 07. Black with a beige foam. Aromas are very fruity with earthy malts. Not much roast character considering the colour. Sweet with some oatiness. Flavours are smooth and earthy with some smokiness. Lightly fruity with some coffee and oatiness. Sweetish on the finish. Decent.
