Sep 3, 2008 Cask (Goat Major,Cardiff) - Very dark, almost black in colour with a tan head. Roasted malt aroma with a hint of coffee. Smooth tasting with coffee and a hint of plain chocolate. A decent mild.

Aug 23, 2008 Bottled at 4.1%. Dark brown pour, good layer of rough tan bubbles. Cheerios® aroma, caramel, a bit of milk chocolate. Straightforward mineral chocolate roast, sweet, but not sticky. Enough body to be pleasantly soft, but still very drinkable. Some of the subtly of a a good cask mild is lost, but this is very respectable in a way that most bottled milds aren’t. I dig.
