500ml bottle - Dark mahogany body with a light tan head. Raisin, apple, cherry and pine in the aroma. Chocolate hops and malt dominate the taste, some light coffee. Nice bitter ending. Felt closer to a stout than a mild.

My kind of beer. Too easy to drink at 5.4%, this is a dark mild cum porter. Pours darkest brown with light carbonation. Aroma is of roasted chestnuts and coffee. The palate is well balanced with subtle hops that linger after the chocolate and smoke finally disappear. Very good!

Bottle@home from Trembling Madness. Dark brown with ruby highlights, gentle carbonation, chocolate, coffee. Astringency in the middle followed by red berries in the finish.

Dark brown almost black with a red tint. and a thin dissapearing tan lacy head. Smells of light roast chocolate malt, fruit and sweet malt. Frothy medium sticky body. Nice solid old ale. Taste of nice sweet cherry, rasin, caramel and a lasting bitter chocolate roast finish. Kept drinking it. Truly excellent.

500ml bottle served cellar cool in a large tulip. Fruity malty aroma, beautiful darkest brown body with a dense and lasting tan head. What really impresses is the balance: from the first sip, I expected some robust smokiness, but what it actually delivers is a lovely plummy juiciness on the swallow. Lots biscuity malt, dried fruit, and a hint of licquorice. Delicious.
