Dark brown, thin head. Sweet burnt malt aroma. Surprisingly hoppy for a mild. More like a porter, but that’s not a perfect match either. Very well-rounded combination of burnt and roasted malts - sweet and a little spicy - with subtle, but quite emphatic, hoppiness. Great mild. DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Feb 5, 2006 1. Cask Handpump at the Penny Black, Northwich (JDW) 31/10/2001
Dark coloured smooth on the palate with earthy aromas. Very bitter. Dry hop finish.
2. Cask Handpump at the Penny Black, Northwich 12/05/2003
Dark red and sugary sweet. Slightly dry roast finish.

Dark coloured and fruity. Slightly dry pleasant malt finish. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Feb 21, 2005 Cask Conditioned @ JDW, Soton. MAlt liqourice and nut against a faint fruity background. Falls between refreshingly dry and sumptuously sweet and fails to satisfy on either count. Daniel_Brown (1919), Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, England Nov 10, 2004 Hand pulled at the Red Lion, Shirley, West Mids. Deliciously smooth, subtle and gently tasty Mild. Enough flavour to be interesting and active around the back of the throat. Refreshing and addictive. duff (5405), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Oct 24, 2004 Cask@Crosse Keys(JDW), London. Thin, lightly acidic mpouthfeel, i stryggled to any dark malt at all, syruppy and grainy, not that good.
