Cask.
Strong nose of caramel, hint of molasses, mahogany, red at the sides, pours a tiny toffee head. Flavour is a fine roasted malt, treacle, perhaps a touch of burdock? Light bodied, very well balanced, quite complex for a Mild, bitter, though softly sweet. Wonderfully unique!

Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Really good depth of flavour on this Mild. Crunchy charcoal roast. Smooooth.

Cask at GBBF 2010, 4th Aug 2010. 3.4%. Deep chestnut colour with a big magnolia head. Dark fruits on nose and tongue. Dry finish (almost a bit too dry for my liking in a mild). Decent weight for such a low ABV.

Cask (GBBF2010)
7 Bread and butter pudding aroma, sweet, touch of actual butter in there too.
4 Deep brown, tiny head.
7 Retronasals like the aroma. Rich, slightly treacly taste, with the butter, and not quite as full as the aroma promised.
4 Full bready palate. Finish raisiny and bread pudding. Hops too are a pleasant bonus.
13 Some harshness, but very tasty.
