Ethereal (869), London, Greater London, England Aug 3, 2008 Cask at Kingston BF, 28th June 2008, with renffisch. Very, very dark brown and completely still. Dried apricot and liquorice aroma. Fruity, sweet malt flavour and a soft, quite full palate. A decent dark mild. renffisch (406), london, Greater London, England Jul 4, 2008 cask @ kingston bf 08. strange fermented fruit/berry nose with a touch of petrochemicals. hazy darkest brown, thin off-white rim. Sweet malty flavour with a bit of liqorice and still fruity, quite watery though with a cardboard finish. fairly well balanced but wasn’t too impressed. Mes_and_Sim (4176), London, Greater London, England May 1, 2008 A Mes rate: Cask at the Trafalgar. Dark cloudy brown with a thin off white head and good condition. Big berry fruit aroma with a bit of tar and liquorice. A good smell. Flavour is more of the same but even better. Plenty of character and a lovely balance between the liquorice and the fruit. Nice lingering chocolate at the finish. Fantastic mouthfeel for a mild. Drinks above it’s strength. An adorable mild.
