(Draught-flow can BB 31/07/07; Thanks Rich!) Mild aroma of caramel, roasted malt and metal. Dark copper colour, clear and white, large, thick, creamy, lasting head with good lacing. Slightly roasted and slightly caramel flavour. Light to medium-bodied, metallic, creamy, almost flat carbonated and slightly watery palate. Smooth brew but way too thin! 26/05/07

(Nitro-canned) Clear, dark copper color with a creamy and lightly lacy nitro head. Very mild aroma of roasted malt and hints of toffee, butter and metal. Roasted-malty, coffeeish, somewhat ashy and metallic flavor. Light to medium-bodied, neutral palate with very flat carbonation. A smooth and roasty, but quite boring brew.

Draught. Copper color, medium creamy off-white head. Plain malt aroma with a little butterscotch and some faint hop notes. Smooth but a bit watery mouthfeel. Good balance between some malt sweetness and a moderate bitterness. Certainly quaffable.

Draught: Hoppy, light sourly maltiness. Velvety, creamy head. Velvety texture, light sourly and malty flavor with herbal hop notes. Caramelic. Nice but too light.

Draught, after the very long (and off-putting) settling process, a becomes a light brown colour with a thick foamy (and unnaturaql looking) white head. Aroma is of swet caramal and slightly metallic. Quite metallic again in the mouth, a weak and watery mouthfeel, the flavouring is earthy malt. Why people would drink this I am not sure.
