From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small tan head. Smooth roasted malt aroma with a light breadish touch. Breadish flavouredwita nice roasted note to it. Light acidic flavour a long a nice roasted dryness. Slowly going into a bitter dry finish. Light fruity on the back of the nose.

Bottle. Flat and a little thin. Some chocolate is present and a trace of smokiness. Despite this it isn’t really that interesting

Bottle, labelled Buzzard Dark Ale. Brown colour under a thin tan head. Fruity and roasted malts aroma and some strange hints of tea. Sweet,fruity flavours with quite a bit of bitterness, leaving a dry mouthfeel. Interesting and quite original, but not really a favourite.

Bottle from ASDA for £1. Aroma of dark fruit with a hit of roasted malt. Flavour had some chocolate and more fruit before a slightly bitter finish. Good.
