gunnfryd (2718), Kristiansand, Norway Jun 15, 2008 Bottle @ Maria tasting. Red brown colour with a tan head. Aroma is roasted, oxidized, coffee. Flavour is roasted, oxidized, licorice, dried fruit. Have been infected but there is something nice behind. Must try this one again later. chris_o (4405), London, Greater London, England May 26, 2008 Cask (gravity dispense), Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. Not yer average mild this one. Not too many of these strong milds about but th9is one seemed to have more presence than the other most commonly seen one - the Sarah Hughes. Black, not much head. Burnt malt aroma with some woody touches. Chocolate, light tar and chewy fruit on the palate. Dry mouthfeel with a very slight lactic edge. Decent body. Quite impressive - I should buy a bottle some time to get a good go at it.
cgarvieuk (2315), Edinburgh, Scotland May 4, 2008 Cask at Paisley Beer Festival 2008 ... Deep black ... malt nose ... rich deep malts ... bit thin for 6.2% ... but very tasty Magic_dave6 (3642), London, Greater London, England May 1, 2008 Cask at paisley beer fest. Alround rating: Sweet chocolate roasty malts, big sweet bold body, however not cloying and easily drinkable. Nice one indeed. Maria (3963), Thisted, Denmark Apr 21, 2008 Tasting at my place. Courtesy of Enjoyit. Batch 060920amon750. Dark brown with a rather small head. the aroma is sweetish with notes of malt, candy sugar and raisin. But the flavour - geezz - pure vinegar and sourness - clearly not as it’s supposed to be - what a pity, the aroma did promise well...
