Dec 23, 2007 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Very dark brown. Faint sweet aroma. Taste is rounded and malty with some fruity pear sourness. Not much else. A bit ordinary, to tell the truth.

Mid brown coloured slightly rich on the palate and fruity. Smooth slightly dry full malt finish.

Jan 10, 2006 <i>Cask @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm</i><br />Initially loads of diacetyl (butterscotch) but that magically disappears after a while. Roasted with a touch of chocolate, coffee and cinnamon. Well balanced and easily downed. This, to me, is a mild and not an old ale.

Dec 30, 2005 Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Dark brown with a creamy light brown head. Loads of diacetyl in aroma with notes of white chocolate and cocoa. Buttery flavour, hints of coffee beans and vanilla. Medium bitter finish of coffee and cocoa with a disturbing diacetyl note. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.

Coffee colour. Very roasty and quite dry. Rounded and medium bodied. Salty with a bit of coffee and a really bitter finish. Definitely wintery.
