Bottled, Dark brown coloured beer with some average carbonation and a large brown head. Creamy roasted yeasty fruity sweet caramel coffee perfect aroma. Smouth creamy coffee palate. Finish is weet bitter with some light roasted touches and a longer dry ending with some yeasty caramel hints. Very nice one.

Half at gunpoint, Victoria Inn &#40;Rugby&#41; Autumn Fest 08. Buttery toffee malt aroma. Totally sweet and fudge sickliness/vanilla dominated. Hints of choc and dark fruit. Expect a bit more at 4.8%, but I suppose it is a ’premium dark mild’. Neither farts nor shits itself, as my Nan would say.

Cask at <i>Bar Nouveau</i>, GBBF. Deep, devil-black body with a russet tint. Sweet chocolate malts to the nose. Rounded chocolate flavour supported by roasted malts. Well bodied with a silky palate. One of the best Mild ale I have had so far. Recommendable &#40;07.08.2008&#41;.
