ladnewton (200), London, Greater London, England Oct 4, 2009 Cask at the Pembury Tavern, London on 3rd October 2009. Dark ruby, almost black body with thin brown head that dissipates to something very small. Richly flavoursome; hint of coriander in the initial aroma. Strong sharp malts and citric/herby hoppiness combine with a little smoke to provide an exquisite blend of flavours in the main climax of this beer. A long bitter finish. anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden Jun 10, 2009 Cask @ Marble Arch. Manchester, M4. Pours a dark brown almost black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty chocolate aroma with some hints of caramel. Roasted malty chocolate flavor with some hints of caramel. Has a sweetish roasted malty chocolate and caramel finish. peter48er (129), Liverpool, Merseyside, England Jan 8, 2009 Cask @ Freshie Formby. Looks like a dark lager, Wouldn’t have called it mild or porter. Taste was full of tart hoppy bitterness backed with some malt, Very typical of the beers from this excellent brewery, which also brew the house bitter & mild for the Freshie. I really enjoyed this beer. albertane (376), Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Mar 8, 2008 Cask at the Newshouse, Nottingham. This mild has a wonderful richness of character, with lots of fruity and roasted malt as expected; however, there’s more going on here than just that. The barman at the pub described it not as a mild but as a porter, and it definitely has the best qualities of that style as well. Very good. Finn (1478), Tromsø, Norway Feb 16, 2008 Cask at The White Horse Parsons Green 4 Feb 08. Dark mahogany brown colored. A tiny disappearing head. Yummy aroma of fruit and candy. A bit disappointing paperish flavor. Dry fruity flavor. Ungstrup (14762), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 15, 2008 Cask at GBBF 2007. A deep red - almost brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and malt, and so is the flavor, leading to a slightly bitter finish. dnas2 (627), Yelverton, Devon., Devon, England Oct 31, 2007 Cask at The Briar Rose, Birmingham. Dark ruby-brown with an of-white short head. Sugar and roasted malts in the scent. Slight bitterness, a dry end, moderately hopped and slightly nutty with some flowers also present. A bit watery at the end, but good. ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Oct 23, 2007 Very dark ruby beer with a medium sized, lasting off-white head. Malt, bread and toffee in the aroma, and a note of Munich malt. Rich and malty flavour with a bitter finish
