Apr 26, 2006 A very nice malt dominated brew. Rich, without being overpowering, there is a gentle fruitiness, both on the nose and on the palate, which nicely balances the roasted malt which is typical of this style. Bottled, Victoria Wine Kelso.

Apr 24, 2006 Very dark brown with a small off-white head. Faint sour aroma with some chocolate in the background. The taste is sour and ashy with a gentle chocolate finish. I had this down as a porter.

Feb 27, 2006 I was thinking this was a dry stout when I bought it and this has really influenced my perspective on this beer. Molasses brown, almost black. White head that sits low and loamy. Slightly viscuous beer snot. Caramel in the nose, confectioner’s sugar and a tiny hint o molasses. Excessively sweet in the nose. No hops at all in the aroma. Upon first sip it seems like nothing is in your mouth. Water maybe, but this beer is light and airy and then flattens out on your tongue. Coffee grounds surface first. Slight seltzer water flavor. Rusty nail bitterness and the dry sweetnes of roasted malts. All of the flavors sit on the back, not the front of the tongue. Hops surface now. Excellent bitter finish. Rusty metals and bitter hops linger in the fniish. Decent beer. Never really had a mild before.

Jan 29, 2006 Pours black with a frothy choco colored head. Smells of chocolate malts. It has a light chocolate, velvety smooth taste to it. It was nice and light.

Jan 25, 2006 On handpump @ Guest House,Southport. Dark mild; chocolate and burnt malt flavours dominate with a hoppy finish. A lovely drinking mild. A quality example of this type of beer which generally undeservably receives a bad press .

Jan 24, 2006 Aroma is lightly smokey roasted malts, with maybe some fruits. Taste is similar with a small amount of molasses in there maybe.

Jan 5, 2006 Updated: Apr 14, 2007Its a nearly black red. Smells like cherry and dark malts. The flavor is slightly sour and fruity with a bit of toasty malt. All flavors fairly muted. Just a hint of hops at the end as well. Not a whole lot going on, but it’s pretty to look at :)
