| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 16, 2006 500 ml bottle (4.1% ABV) courtesy of geth_in_beer. Dark brown beer with a thick light brown head. Sweet chocolatey aroma, caramel, toast, and a lightly rummy note throughout. Flavour is quite nice... thin bodies but with good malt development. Bittersweet dark chocolate and a light roasty astringency which helps bulk up the body a bit. Lightly rummy/raisiny sweet malts over the toasty chocolatey character. Earthy hop finish and good bitterness. Fin (3460), Merton, Oxfordshire, England

Aroma of roasted malts and some woodiness, taste was also roasted, litle bit of sourness, but pleasant even woody again with lingering bitterness, but a very nice and good example of a what a Mild should be like. johndoughty (2168), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 14, 2006 From bottle. I was struck by a hint of sherry at first but then settled to a fruity, sweet syrup aroma but overall a very pleasant experience. The beer looks sinister with its very black calm appearance. For a dark not as strong tasting as expected but hit by fruit and chocolate always a good combination and smooth to go with it. Overall a very good beer, a bit of a surprise beer. Pretty good.
