Oct 25, 2006 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Dark brown with some head. A faint malt aroma and an initial sweetness in the taste, however this soon subsides into pointless, watery, tastelessness.

Oct 20, 2006 Full pint on cask. Very dark, deep red- tinged. Off-white head. Dry aroma with malt and dark fruits. Flavour has also got hints of dried fruit, dark chocolate and roasted grain. Short bitter ending. Alright for a low alcohol strength mild ale (The Portland Arms, St Albans 28.09.2006).

Oct 15, 2006 Cask/gravity at The St Albans Beer Festival 27 Sep 06. Dark red coloured. Almost black. A tiny head. Caramellish aroma. Sweet taste dominated by caramel. Some bitterness little by little.

Oct 13, 2006 Cask conditioned - handpump - Leicester Gateway - Leicester. A muddy purple/black coloured beer served in less than perfect form. The aroma was very apply and clearly not right. The taste was a litttle sour and there were vinegar notes. A little bit of lightly roasted malt was tucked away in the background but all in all a pretty dire experience.

Oct 10, 2006 Cask in Croyden. Clear dark amber brown with a bubbly cap. Aroma is quite dry, of smoke, plumb and toffee. The flavour is a little thin as you would expect, but shows some smoke and toffee. Weak bitterness, with little hop flavour. The finish is a little sweeter than the aroma would suggest, quite smooth though.
