Definatly could have been more flavoursome. Not horrible just nothing very nice. At the end of the day it went down the hatch reasonable well.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jul 25, 2009 Very thin and light with a fairly bitter finish. Nothing special, delivery only hints of the expected flavours. tbw2008 (14), Bedfordshire, England
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Cask @ Wenlock Arms, Hoxton
Lovely looking, garnet black with a fine light tan head. Aroma is of caramel, toffee and a hint of smoke. Flavour is molasses, some coffee and even a touch of tar. Mouthfeel is thin and a little disappointing. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2009 Cask at the Duke of Wellington, Norwich, "Boxing Day Expedition" crawl, 26th Dec 08. Very dark brown, line of head. Lovely flavour - bitter chocolate, dark fruits, caramel sweetness and dry roastiness. Even some smokiness. The caramel in particular comes through on the nose. Smooth, good stuff. HogTownHarry (4025), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 22, 2008 on cask @ Wenlock Arms (London). What’s with the low ratings of this? This is a fine mild! Deep clear mahogany with a long-lasting creamy beige head. Deep roast aroma, a hint of treacle, coffee and tobacco, slightly acidic - really caught my attention. The taste delivers, perhaps a little thin and weaker in malt (and undertones) than what my nose detected, but the (acidic) flavour stuck around quite a while. Average-bodied for a mild, soft, acidic of course, with a slightly carbonized linger. I WAS left with an overall impression of "slightly like dishwater" for some reason; still quite nice. bman1986 (142), Broadstairs, Kent, England
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 23, 2008 Cask at Kent Beer Festival, Canterbury: Good example of a mild, aroma of roasted malt and this follws through in the flavour, with a little carmale thrown in there as well. Pretty good stuff. Rune (2848), Tromsų, Norway
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 19, 2008 Half pint, cask version hand pulled at Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. See-through, dark brown body with only some dimples at the surface. Toffee-like aroma. The flavour is dominated by soft caramel sweetness offset by hints of apples. Flat palate, but still a rather well made Mild ale (04.05.2008). sm89walt (457), Norwich, Norfolk, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 24, 2007 Cask - Fat Cat, Norwich. Dark brown in colour with a quickly dissappearing head. Roasted malt aromas with some hops available as long as they are searched for. Delicate flavours that are predominantly, similar to the aroma, of a roasted malt quality. A subtle bitterness and a smooth palate finish this nicely, if not exceptionally.
