cgarvieuk (4159), Edinburgh, Scotland Mar 5, 2007 A brown coloured brew, with a light malty chocolate flavour. A nice simple pint. chriso (4665), London, Greater London, England Nov 19, 2006 Cask (handpump), Knights Templar (JDW), Chancery Lane, London. A dark ruby coloured brew with a beige head. Roasty aroma, but there’s some unwelcome diacetyl in there. Lost of roast malt in the flavour with a touch of creamy chocolate. Fairly sweet. A decent enough mild, but there’s not really anything particularly magic, or potion-like, about it.
GarethYoung (1110), Glasgow, Scotland Sep 7, 2006 [cask at JDW] Aroma of chocolate, caramel. medium - thin body with a sweet finish. Joeh (1908), Buckinghamshire, England Jun 5, 2006 Cask at the Market Porter, Southwark. Dark, almost black but with ruby hints. The beer lacks body and is rather boring, with a fairly bland taste with quite a lot of fruit. No character. dnas2 (627), Yelverton, Devon., Devon, England May 25, 2006 Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Dark and creamy with a good head. Chocolate and caramel aromas but lacking in flavour. Not bad but pretty average. Spiesy (2333), Global Citizen, Greater London, England May 20, 2006 <!-- i -->Cask Conditioned, at The Surry Docks (JDW), London.<!-- /I --><!-- br -->
Deep rustic brown colour, patchy, sudsy head. Lovely, lifting hoppy aroma. Looks all the world like a light mild, drinks a beautiful hoppy flavour though. I finely made beer and my first rate at this pub.
harrisoni (6703), Ashford, Kent, England May 20, 2006 Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashord. Deep russet colour with thin beige head. Good toffee malt, soft in mouth, some coffee. Quite a lot of flavour for a light alcohol beer. Wettish in mouth as you’d expect, with toffee dominated hop dry finish. OK Magicdave6 (5383), London, Greater London, England May 18, 2006 Aroma is a bit sweet, lightly burnt and maybe grassy hops. Taste is simila though a bit thin and not much of a finish.
