Very dark with a thick creamy head. Has lots of roasted malts in aroma and taste and a thick texture.

UPDATED: MAR 15, 2012 Dark ruby red with a creamy white lastign head. Smells of roast,light fruit (cherry) malt and chocolate. Light thin body. Creamy milky and very smooth. Yum. Dark chocolate, bitter that doesn’t linger. Not sticky. Another excellent Mild.

Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival, 17th & 18th February 2012 Dark brown in colour without much of a head apart from a few stray bubbles. Fairly ordinary mild, with a bit too much caramel and little else, fruity and maybe a bit of chocolate but mostly caramel. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Cask conditioned at Merton Beer Fest ’12. Very dark brown with cream head. Really quite a thin mild, a touch on the watery side for me. Sweetish, fruity, I found it a little dull.

Cask @ GBBF 2011. Pours a dark brown almost black color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty caramel aroma with some bready hints. Fruity malty roasted caramel flavor. Has a fruity roasted malty caramel finish with weak hints of chocolate.

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 2. Pours clear brown with a light, bubbly head. Faint dark fruits and light, tangy malts in the aroma. Light sweet flavor, tangy, toasty, and faintly roasty. (Wow, how about that little turn of phrase?) Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild finish, slightly bland, some tangy dark malts. Kind of left me hanging on some fronts but not altogether bad.
