chris_o (4409), London, Greater London, England Dec 24, 2006 Cask (gravity dispense), Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. Deep reddish brown colour - not the darkest mild I’ve seen. A quite light bodied mild, with modest toasty malt and a nutty undertone. Decent but nothing out of the ordinary.
Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England May 2, 2006 Gravity cask @ Reading Beer Festival 2006. Very minimal aroma. SLight vanilla. Not much happening. maeib (4012), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England May 1, 2006 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Reading BF. A very dark brown coloured mild with a thin indistinguished aroma. The taste is a little eggy with a tiny amount of smokiness, but otherwise disappointingly dull. Joeh (1892), Buckinghamshire, England May 1, 2006 Cask Conditioned at Reading BF 2006. Softly flavoured, thin malt and some chocolate. A boring example of the style. kook (2035), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Apr 30, 2006 Cask @ Reading 06: Choc malt dominats the nose, along with some roast. Dark brown in colour. Simple but really tasty.
