Mar 25, 2007 Updated: Jun 13, 2008On draft at Sportstime pizza. Rather opaque reddish tint. Tan head. Full bodied with hints of cola and cocoa. :ive;y flavor and very fresh. Toasty bready flavors. Solid brew...And tasted again at the St Louis Microfest in a JW Lees firkin. Filtered and dark amber hued. Tight ring of off-white head. Aromas of grainy malty breads, honey, vanilla and a lotta oak! I actually said, "Oh my God!" outloud. Sweet nose and big malts. Thick and sugary sweet. Lotta oaky woody notes. Anise and raisins. Great complexity and a great experience!

Nov 27, 2004 Draft at Rich O’s in New Albany, IN. Small tan head, lacing was fair, transparent, and a reddish brown hue. Malty, caramel, chocolate notes, and some hops. Flavor was lightly acidic and malty. Smooth mouthfeel.

Oct 13, 2005 Deeply dark coloration, slimmish head, tan and lightly dotted...
Nose of cocoa and nuts...charcoal and maple, but all played very lightly...nice..to a point...shall we say...
Taste: smooooth, light on the palate, very easy, yet full of character, if not too full of body...loads of malt, lots of taste, much more full of taste than I’d expect from an English mild...I like it, it’s good... a much ballsier mild than I’d been anticipating...very worthy. Very good...nice...Hooray, New Albany, and all the New Albanians!

Jun 21, 2008 STL microfest. I appreciated this one far more than I enjoyed. it. Pours dark brown / bornze with a tan head. The aroma has sour mash, sweetness, lots of scotch and some dark toasted malt. Light body with extra gentle carbonation. The flavor starts like the aroma with more sourness ~ quite clean. The finish has green apple and nectar fruits. The is good for what it is, but I don’t need much.

Jul 13, 2006 Tap at rich o’s. Drunk with a retired newspaper editor named David who is now a sculptor who discussed life and travel with me, a pleasure to meet you, sir.
Yep, it’s dark. Not pitch black by any stretch, but close. Head was thin light & gray, but lasts. Smells of caramel, & strawberry. Taste is a bit of roast coffee, some maraschino cherry & smoked meat. I wouldn’t expect these flavors to work, but they do, well. I could happily drink a few pints in the right company. Lingering meaty roast flavor. Chocolate emerges late in this.
