imdownthepub (7128) - Banbury, - APR 17, 2004
Cask Conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival '04. Dark brown with beige thin head. Darkly roasted malts with a sulphery nose and slightly salty flavour. Smokey nutty flavours throughout. A fair mild all in all.

DruncanVeasey (4791) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - FEB 4, 2012
Alfresco handpull, served with ice, part frozen at The Horseshoes Winter Ale Festival, Nuneaton. Attractive dark mahogany beer with a fine, persistent ivory collar. Even half frozen this scores a 5 for perfect condition. Coffee cake scented; fine mellow roasted taste with mocha and iron hints. Like Guinness, with the taste turned up. Very good- I’m amazed something this good is a CAMRA champion.

No aroma to speak of, is a weak bodied mild ale with some stout character to it. Maybe a bad keg.

joe19612 (1110) - camberley, Surrey, ENGLAND - DEC 24, 2011
Cask at Woking Festival 2011. Pours a dark brown colour with a thin tan head. The aroma is malty with hints of coffee, and fruit. The taste has plenty of roasted coffee and fruit with a dry bitter in the finish.

jackl (379) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 11, 2011
Cask. Champion Beer of Britain 2011. Dark color with a modest off-white head. The nose is sweet, of roasted malts, bitter chocolate, cherries and other winter fruits. The taste is moderately sweet. The mouthfeel medium and easy. The flavor’s quite nice on this, a very complex beer for such modest alcohol content. While CAMRA’s agenda to highlight the merits of milds may have played a part in this beer being named champion of festival, that doesn’t mean it’s not without merit on its own. A pretty pleasant pint.

Flavour is roasted malts, chocolate, bit of liquorice, slightly fruity. Ok beer, but not really blown away by the Camra’s champion beer of Britain.
