From cask. Pours dark brown with a small, dense and creamy head. Aroma is fruity and dark roasted malt. Dark roasted malt. Breadish andcrisp hoppy citrusy, peachy and dark malty. Lingering dark malty and fruity.

Cask@OHaras, Tampere. Rubyish black colour with a small head. Aroma is ripe dark fruits, mild toffee, zest and mild floral notes. Flavour is similar, but the hops are rather strong. Light Cascadian Dark Ale? Tasty.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2008. Very dark brown, bubbly beige head. Some hops on aroma. Some grainy choc and cereal. It’s not a bad little mild, bit grainy, but fine. Bit smokey, some hop on finish. Didn’t think it matched up to all the hype it had been getting.

Cask@Dean Swift (3.2%)
Dark nutty brown color, creamy brownish head. Nutty caramelly nose. Light to medium bodied. Light toasted malty flavor, some caramel, light hops. Easy going, light beer but with lots of flavor. Excellent session beer.

Handbottle with huge thanks to Craig. Can’t wait to throw down a handful of pints of it on cask. My most wanted beer for a while!
Deep chestnut brown with a small off-white head. Rich fruity aroma plum and raisin, with chocolate and biscuit. Dry, yet rich, dark malty flavour, with complex fruits and roasted notes. Firm hop bitterness with hints of grassy flavours too. Long lasting roasted and bitter finish. A world class masterpiece at this ABV.

Cask conditioned at York Beer Fest ’09. Chestnut with white head. BrewDog must be doing something right, this managed to be clear & bright when so many others were dull and clouded at this Festival. Dry and hoppy mild, not what we would call a mild, but there is a smokey nuttiness with dark roast qualities. Very good and for the ABV, amazing.

A Mes rate: cask at Blackfriars in Glasgow.
Dark red brown with an excellent beige head and thick lace. Big coffee and chocolate malt aroma with a light bitterness and some tobacco. Flavour... christ on a sodding bike how good is this? Awesome dark bitter chocolate, lovely coffee and lip smackingly good fruit in the back ground. Simply beautiful roasted malt finish. I’m pretty sure this is the best mild I have had. It drinks WAY above it’s strength. I just can’t believe this is 2.7% they must be kidding right? The bitterness almost makes it feel hoppy but it’s coming from the fresh coffee and dark chocolate. Unbelievable character for such low abv. I drank this with Mitch and Greg from Stone Brewing Co, and they were bloody amazed too. Hats off to BrewDog.
