<b>Aug, 2003:</b> <i> Gravity Cask, Chelmsford Beer Festival. </i> Egg, acid and soap on the nose. Creamy impression. Big head. Wild raspberries. Perfume-free soap. Touch of wet leather. Clinging wet finish. [2.9]<br /> <b>Dec, 2004: </b> <i>Royal Oak, London. </i> Beautiful ruby colour. Sulphur aroma. [2.9]<br /> <b>Nov, 2005</b> <i>George V, Brompton.</i> Refreshing and tasty. Sulphur and chocolate and roasted barley and that characteristic and very unique Harvey’s oaky wild sour yeast that really lifts their beers to world class status. Takes a while to get used to the taste and the unusual character. [4.2]

<i>Cask at the Royal Oak, London</i><br />Dark amber color to brown, thin persistent head. Light aroma, malt and wood. Very round mouthfeel for a Mild, malty, with a fair amount of caramel, and a very balanced final. Good.

Cask at the Royal Oak with Mes and reakt, 2nd Sept 2007. Clear dark brown with a slight nutty aroma. Flavour of chocolate and bitter hops. Palate is light but flavoursome. Just right for a mild.

GBBF 2003, tap: Slightly toaste nose, dark brown color, low frothy head. Slow start of toasted malt, late arriving light woody dryness. Thin, watery. The over profile is like a wedge - a crescendo of flavors. Very good mild.
