Deep-brown, almost black. Really sweet buttery toffee malts, some slight roasty finish to give it some balance.I think theres too much butter toffee and raisins in there, really not my kind of beer.

Jun 14, 2009 Cask-conditioned at the Knights Templar (JDW), Bristol 13/06/09. Dark brown with some hints of red and a slight tan head. Sweet, doughy malt and red fruit aroma. Sweet caramel and fruit flavours, with some roastiness in the background and an earthy hop finish. Good.

Feb 19, 2009 Cask, Dee Hotel (JDW), West Kirby. Deep dark brown colour with a medium sized tan head. Roasted malt, raisin and licorice aroma .Quite full bodied and rich sliding down. Flavour fairly malt heavy with a healthy dose of dark fruit and booze. Finished lingeringly sweet. Some definite appeal here.

Feb 16, 2009 A Mes rate: cask at Baker St ’Sporks.
Dark mahogany with a lasting beige head. A good looking beer. Rich bready malt aroma with lots of cake and dark fruit and strong notes of liquorice. Simlar flavour with some clear but inoffensive alcohol. Rich and warming finish with plenty of sweetness that is just about held in check. Pretty good beer overall.
