Bottle. Exploded out of the bottle which had been carefully kept. Not a good start.Some nuttiness and a trace of malt. Overall pretty bland apart from the explosive start!

Cask handpull at the Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. That’s not a good beer. Just some plastic on the aroma and vague roast in the mouth. Horrid aroma.

A Mes rate. Cask in the Not Young Knee Beef (Old Joint Stock) thanks Simon for the explanation.
Dark brown with a thin beige head. Bland, mild like aroma. Young and underbrewed. Green and appley. Boring, dull and generally everything a mild should be, but shouldn’t.

Cask, gravity at The White Horse, Hedgerley, 18th ’Coming of Age’ Beer Festival 29-05-10 Pours chestnut in colour with off-white head. This is nutty with good toffee, malts and a little bit of creaminess. Smooth nutty flavours show again, I like this. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Cask, gravity, at Cambridge Beer Festival ’10. Very dark brown with a small beige head. Intense buttery caramel aroma like old fashioned butterscotch. Sweet slightly sickly grainy taste like Weetabix with too much sugar. Dash of full cream milk on top. A little dryness. Interesting beer with an authentic old style feel to it. Wouldn’t want another, but I quite enjoyed it.

Cask conditioned gravity dispense Banbury Beer Festival 2010. A black beer with an off-white rim of head. A slightly smoky fishy aroma with nice chocolate and a little roast in the mouth. A good mild with a little late caramel sweetness.

Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest ’10. Brown with no head. A little flat this one. There is a drying chemical note to it, almost salty leading to a malty bitterness. Dry finish, struggling to think of it as a mild.
