Cask (Cambridge Winter Ale Festival 2011)
Lovely roasty aroma. Dark reddy brown. Tastes fairly sweet, still some sugars there, again roasted. Same in the finish. A bit watery in the mouth. Fortunately not outrageously sweet. Phil though the roast was quite chocolatey. Fairly grainy - a very good mild.

Bottle. Near black with a thin beige foam. Aromas are raisins with dark chocolate and liquorice. Blackberry with some smoky and herbal notes. Leather with peppery alcohol. Flavours are roast coffee with gritty dark chocolate and dark berries. Dry on the finish with dark chocolate bitterness. Good.

Bottle from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham. Dark brown with a hint of red and no head. Sweet caramel and dark fruit aroma with some slightly vinous alcohol evident. Black coffee and plain chocolate flavours with an ashy, dry finish.Very good.

3rd February 2011
Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Loads of beers shared with ChrisO and Harrisoni - Cheers! Hazy very dark broen beer, almost opaque. Residual tan head. Light dry palate. Mild dark malt with traces of chocolate and smoke. Semi dry finish. Okay.

Cask at St Albans BF 2010. Black, dark brown edges. Thin beige head. Some dark malt on aroma. No real hop as you’d expect, some dark fruits. Decent strong dark fruity mild.

Cask Conditioned Gravity Dispense St Albans BF 2010. A nearly black beer with a small beige ring of head. A nice strong mild with a good body. Mellow coffee, fruit and chocolate. Good sweetness too. A proper olde mild. Very nice indeed.
