Bottle, shared by fonefan. It pours an orange-copper unclear body under a small off-white head. Dusty aroma with caramel and some citrus. Brett-like flavor with caramel. The brett was hardly intended, but worked in a way. Dry, with a sourish finish. Failed to impress, but was at least drinkable, even though it had clear signs of having gone bad. (080823)

On bottle from a mixed case purchased from the brewery. Th ebeer poured a dark amber colour. The nose of malts and fruits, both citrus and berries. The taste was initially of malts followed by an aftertaste of blue/blackberries. I thoroghly enjoyed this beer, it reminded me of a Scottish malty beer with a bitter aftertaste, very drinkable and highly recommended.

TFODRBSG08 Courtesy of Fonefan. Hazy brown with a creamy head. The aroma has light notes of malt, fruit and hints of sewer. The flavour has a sourness, notes of fruit, citrus and it’s slightly tart. Not really my kind of beer.

50cl bottle. Pours amber with a small head. Sweet nose & taste with notes of sour dark fruits & rum. Medium bodied! Drinkable!

500ml Bath Rd. Chocolate coffee aroma. Dark brown colour with fair head and lacing. Bitter malt chocolate coffee flavour with stale aftertaste. Thin palate.

Thorups, Aarhus, DK Bottled, 130608 Dark brown with no head. Aroma is tangy and the flavor is of roasted barley with a dominant dry and sour finish.

This dark beer has a decent coffee aroma; however, it is too watery and fizzy, and has the unappealing sour aftertaste of other Milestone beers. I was disappointed.

Cask at Whitelock’s in Leeds. Not much to look at - hazy brown with a small head - but has a good aroma of chocolate, toffee and coffee. Flavour has hints of blackcurrant and molasses and the mouthfeel is full and rich, complementing the roasted flavours. Like the previous rater, this definitely reminded me of Old Peculier. Not bad.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel, Northampton. A dark ruby coloured beer with a nice off-white thickish head. The aroma is malty fruity bready and there is some coffee also. The taste is more of the same. It’s very smooth and very tasty. Reminded me of Old Peculier. From a brewery whose products are usually pretty poor, this is damn good.

Cask@The Lord Keeper of the Great Seal - Weatherspoons, Oadby. Brown beer with a roasted aroma and a roasted and bitter flavour. Overall a nice gentle bitter.
