3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask-conditioned at the Three Judges, Glasgow 17/06/10. Dark, ruddy brown with a slight, white head. Raisiny fruit, light roasted malts and a touch of chocolate, leading to a short, bitter finish. Extremely drinkable for a weak beer.

Cask @ Old Mill, Brodie. Dark malt porter-like appearance with frothy white head. Aroma - bit of roast malt, not much on the nose. Taste - roasted malt, slight plain chocolate, stronger than expected at 3.3% abv with a roasty bitter finish. However, a bit watery and thin (which is to be expected). Not a fan of very low abv beers (generally watery, low in flavour, bit pointless) but I would have this again - this is a well crafted mild for the abv.

On cask at Ship Inn, Limekilns. Pours dark, porter like in appearance. Raisins, raisins and more raisins! Drinkable but far too sweet for my taste.

UPDATED: MAY 5, 2011 Cask @ The Cask & Barrel, Edinburgh. Dark brown colour with a big foamy head. Sweet treacle aroma. Mild sour grassy treacle flavour. Smooth but watery. Not to my taste.
