duff (5474), Surrey, Greater London, England Jul 26, 2003 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.

Sweet, doughy malt and red fruit aroma. Sweet caramel and fruit flavours, with some roastiness in the background and an earthy hop finish. Good. wyzzywyz22 (754), Wirral, Merseyside, England 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. MesandSim (5790), London, Greater London, England 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. leaparsons (4659), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Sep 14, 2008 Cask, Peterborough Fest 08. Dark brown with a small head. Aromas are chocolate and toffee malts with some smokiness. Hints of soy, too. Flavours are sweet viscous malts with a peppery, roast character. Earthy, herbal and dry on the finish. chimplechamp (463), Oslo, Norway Nov 10, 2007 cask troon beer fest- pours flat rootbeer, smells roast popcorn tastes abit flat. sweet, smokey, and average.
