AndrewExceptional10 Jun 2006 Wonderful. Pear and peach flavours to start with quickly followed by burnt toffee and rich syrup. The finish was good and bitter

The Pembury Tavern, Hackney, Greater London

WhoScoreWhenNotes
IanAcceptable14 Mar 2007 Very deep ruby/brown with lasting bubbly tan head. Slightly milky lactic mild. Not to my taste, really way too milky. Not as I remember it at Nottingham BF in 2005. Some roasted malts, but that lactic thing is just too much.

IanExcellent21 Oct 2005 Black beer with no head. Quite a hoppy nose for a mild. Good in mouth with choc/coffee kicking in. Good enough mild.
