boboski (1095), USA Jan 20, 2007 16.9oz btl shared with Redlight. Decent hop character in the aroma, along with detergent and stale fruit. Flavor isn’t much better, loaded with an uncohesive blend of malt and fruity esters, some dusty cocoa. Palate is a little spicy, very thin body. Without any commendable character. Unimpressive. voota (754), Melbourne, Australia Oct 10, 2006 Brilliant bright dark copper with a creamy frothy white head. Lacing and retention are both excellent. Aroma of smoke, old shoes and dark chocolate. Thin mouthful, a little chocolate, a little molasses and a slight bitterness. The finish show some floral hops and skunky sweet malt. Slightly weird. For_a_That (10), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Aug 21, 2006 Nice Mild, the kind I drank as a nipper. Honestly one of my favorite styles . Nice a round malt light carbonation, reminds me of Belhaven 60 StueyD (590), King’s Lynn, Norfolk, Norfolk, England Mar 19, 2006 A dark, red brown mild beer, with a weak white head. The nose is light, with a sweet malty note, followed by a subtle citrus hoppiness. Medium bodied, the taste is again of light malty sweetness, but with a refreshing dry hop flavour that cuts through the sweetness. The finish is dry, but with the hint of malt. (Bottle - Tesco). harrisoni (5109), Ashford, Kent, England Dec 2, 2005 500ml bottle from Tesco. Ruby/dark chestnut colour with lasting tight beige head. Aroma of a mild, bready and yeasty nose. Not too attractive, but so much better in mouth with touch of raspberry fruit and a touch sharp too. Overall quite impressed
