Cask at The New Oxford, Manchester. A nut-brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has strong notes of caramel as well as medium notes of malt and light notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt as well as light notes of chocolate, and hints of coffee, leading to a dry bitter coffeeish finish.

30th June 2010. On taop at the Kings Head freehouse Tollesbury, Essex. Clear brown beer. Not much head. Soft smooth palate. Sweet hazlenuts, red fruit in the undertone. Mellow chocolatey coffee. Some coconut as well. Finishes soft with some sweeter red fruit coming to the fore. An outstanding English draft beer - best I have had in a very very long time.

Cask Handpump at the Bear & Billet, Chester 13/02/2010 Some roast aroma. Copper coloured smooth and a little rich on the palate with a hint of dryness and coffee flavour in a nutty roast finish.

Cask conditioned at Far from the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Brown to ruby with slight white head. Not as roasty as I thought it would be but the nutty flavours do come through, light powdery coffee flavours in the background. Good stuff.

Herber, würzig milder Antrunk. Leicht nussig, rund, zum Ende fast zu mild werdend. Wenig Schokolade, nett. 11/9/9/9//9

Cask Conditioned Handpump Market Porter Borough Market. A dark brown coloured beer with a tight whitish head and lace. A great chocolatey nutty aroma which is welcoming from afar. Same in the mouth with especially good nuttiness and late on chocolatey coffee. A smooth very tasty beer.

500ml bottle (Drink Shop, Tallinn)
Super-nice hazelnut aroma. Some cocoa powder too. Sweet, sticky, cocao powder body. Taste also cocao powdery. Nice and drinkable, but the powdery nature of this is perhaps a bit too much.

Cask (gravity dispense) at the Bricklayers Arms Yorkshire beer festival, February 2009. Not the darkest but very tasty. Loads of nuts in the aroma and flavour. More nuts than coffee but none the worse for that.
