Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Very dark brown. Decent mild. Very mild in fact. Nice malts, a little thin as you would expect. Good condition. Pretty good for the style. Bit of stilton cheese flavour.

Cask (handpull) Old Oak Inn, Horsley Woodhouse. Ah.... mild in May throws up a few pearls amongst some swine-ish bilge. This is a pearler. Attractive off-black body, subtle liquid berries and just the right side of charcoal. Makes the trip out to what is in effect the brewery tap for this beer such a rewarding experience.
