RichardGretton (2624), Leicestershire, England Aug 29, 2008 Cask@Peterborough Beer Festival, 2008. Black beer with a very malty and herbal aroma. The flavour is herbal, malty and lightly dry. Overall a nice malty and herbal beer. JorisPPattyn (4275), Antwerpen, Belgium Sep 16, 2007 Cask Fluffy greige head, near black, but with ruby highlights. Lots of UK hops, dry, more than roasted notes. Grapey, lively flavours with especially retronasal roasted, and a bit of liquorice. More fresh grapey hops with every sip. In the aftertaste, I get stouty sourness. Light with some wheatlike slickness; not empty. Very close (as intented) to the original Entire Butt; as far as one can access that. Garrat (1065), Suffolk, England Mar 7, 2005 From A Bottle.Almost black in colour,small head,nice milk chocolate aroma,taste is roasted,sweet with
a malty finish.
imdownthepub (4017), Banbury, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England Oct 24, 2004 Cask Condtitioned at Oxford Beer Festival ’04. Dark brown / red hinted beer with a slight head. Dark smokey roasted flavours with an acidic sourness running throughout, more an old ale in my book, but maybe this is due to it being the last day of a Festival. Juicy and sweetish on the tongue.. Sigmund (1928), Hafrsfjord, Norway Oct 8, 2004 Cask conditioned at the Ipswich Beer Festival 2004, gravity dispense. Listed as a cross between a mild and a porter, which indeed it is - an interesting one, too. Coffee and chocolate aroma. Quite sweet and malty flavour. Not bad at all.
