Bottle at The Penguin Beer Bobbing/13 Beers of Halloween tasting. Deep mahogany with a beige rim. Sweet plummy yeast in the aroma joined by coal, cocoa and apple. Soft chocolate dustiness, silk, hazelnut and apple peel. Generous parting roast. One of the better beers of the evening.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin rim of tan head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, as well as lighter notes of roasted malt, leading to a dry and roasted finish. The body is light. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

Good but a little watery. Not so mild and a little more like an stout. I liked it and drank it pleasantly.

Cask Handpump at the GBBF Earl’s Court, London 08/08/2008 Roast aroma. Mid brown coloured and fruity with a little bitterness in a crisp and dry burnt roast finish.

Cask, gravity at St Neots BF ’09 (’Booze on the Ouse’). Very dark brown. Ashy burnt aroma like an ashtray that had coffee spilt in it. Taste roughly ditto. Slight bitterness. This is okay if you like wet dog ends.
