cask at Cloisters Edinburgh ...Deep brown ... thick tan head ... light fruity malts nosesweet fruity smokey wood ... roast malts ... little raisins ... gentle hop background

[Cask from the Falcon (JDW), High Wycombe] Deep ruby, negligible cream head. A little plummy fruit, some wood, some mild roast. Pleasant enough, easy drinking mild, but fairly forgettable.

Nice malty and easy drinking mild. Didn’t get much liquorice in this, but very much a quenching beer, and moreish.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours rich ruby, clear, with a small, foamy head. Moderate berries in the nose, some light coffee and roast character. Light sweet flavor with dark bread, light cocoa, faint toast and roast, light coffee, Light bodied with soft to fine carbonation. Lightly sweet on the finish with toasty cocoa, very faint fruits and dark, toasty bread. Nice mild.

Cask Last Post Paisley. Probably not best reviewed after a heavy hop ensemble but poured deep brown and sad to say darker than todays Emerald Isle’s favourite "Black Stuff" . Tasted burnt almonds and Bassett’s licquorice . Not bad at all but def a stout.

Half, cask at Counting House. A deep dark brown coloured ale with a beige, circular edge to the rim of the glass. Plain dark malty nose. Roasted mid-sweet, dark malts in flavour, hints of dark fruits, too. Ashy dry mouthfeel. Malt-bitter end. Ok (Glasgow, 12.04.2012).

Cask @ JDW Elgin
Dark chestnut brown, clear, dense thin white head, some lacing
Aroma of light coffee, soft roast malt, overall light aroma
Taste - soft roast, light coffee, light dark fruity malt, some bitter hedgerow hops
Palate - soft carb, thin body. Finish of very light dark fruity malt, slight biscuit, some metallic bitterness in the linger
Overall - Very average..I’ve had better Milds

Mahogany colour with an off white head. Low to medium carbonation. Fruit, malt aroma with a pleasant hop and caramel hint. Smooth texture. Could be a little thin. Rich malt, caramel flavour.

Clear brown beer. Crisp palate. Good flavour for it’s modest abv. Reasonably well balanced with malt just dominating the little bit of fruity hop.

Cask (gravity) - The Murderers, Norwich. Fine, disappearing beige head; clear, dark ruddy body. Lots of mildly tangy dark fruit aromas, liquorice and subtle roasted malt. Similar again on the tongue with a hint of a dry roasinesst in the finish. A bit flat on the palate. Short finish, lingering dark fruity aftertaste.

Bottled. A red-amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a bitter finish. Boring.
