May 6, 2005 Much more widely available in bottle than on cask, so this was a welcome opportunity to try this beer as a real ale. Pitch black in colour, with very little head. Biscuity malt aroma. Roasty flavour with hints of tobacco. Quite sweet. Not very full bodied. Perfectly acceptable, but a bit short of interest. Cask (gravity dispense), Battersea Beer Festival 2005.

Dec 15, 2008 A Mes rate. Cask at the Market Porter. Black body with a tan head and decent condition. Rich smoked malt aroma with some slight earth, not amazing but nice enough. There is an odd note of cardboard in the flavour but lashings of smoky malt and some cereal and bread sort it out nicely. Meaty finish with plenty of bacon plus some developing chalky chocolate. Interesting but not quite right.
