May 11, 2005 Cask conditioned - handpump - JDW Northampton. A black beer with no head due to its gravity dispense. The aroma is malty and slightly fruity. The taste is light and smooth roast with good malts and a hoppy background. Reminded me a bit of Old Peculier. Good stuff.

Apr 29, 2005 Cask at Shakespeare’s Head, Holburn, London. Chocolately and malty, but with a milky texture. Didn’t not enjoy it. But maybe could it be a bit mroe bitter? Black colour with maroon tints to the head.

Mar 27, 2005 Dark brown with a ruby edge, small head and light lacing. Aroma was not very intense and consisted mostly of toffee and roasted malt. Mild mannered, medium bodied with a subtle, smooth, coffeeish, nutty taste. Finishes with a soft fruitiness that was only slightly bitter. Good session beer. (cask@Max’s in Baltimore)

Feb 11, 2005 Cask@Battersea Beer Festival. Nose has some lsight raisin, spice and coffee. Don’t know what the ’spice’ is, still trying to figure it out, its probabaly pretty obvious though. Mouthfeel is fairy light and easy going. Some slight instant coffee, and perhaps some clove? or something. Pretty soft, easy gong, but showing some slightly interesting characteristics.
