Aug 22, 2008 A Mes rate: Cask at the White Horse Belgian Beer Festival.
Very dark brown with no head. Slight diacetyl in the nose but the bready malt sorts it. Nice and young (phwoar) with the bready malt coming to the front. The diacetyl, rather than being offensive gives it a pleasant note of caramel. Even more bread in the finish. Think of it as a very bready mild and you are pretty much there.

Aug 19, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08. Very dark black with ruby hints. Thin dark beige head. OK, firstly it’s too cold. But it is a mild. It’s fine. Drinkable, not overly roasted. As a knock down drink with some flavour it’s perfect.

Apr 1, 2008 Half pint, cask at Bricklayers Arms, Putney. Very dark brown coloured body under a bubbly white head. Tranquil aroma of spicy hops. Malty notes in flavour with a brush of bitterness in the background. Faint palate (18.03.2008).

Mar 2, 2008 Gravity cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 8th Feb 2008. Black as night (well, not quite, but an exceedingly dark brown) with an aroma of molasses, caramel and pine needles. Caramel malt rules the flavour with molasses and milk chocolate on either hand. The mouthfeel is spot on - it penetrates to every corner of your mouth. A wonderful dark mild!

Feb 29, 2008 Cask @ Bricklayers Arms, Yorkshire BF ’08. Dark reddish brown colour. Malty aroma with caramel, honey and sulphur coming later. Taste is fruity, slightly sweet, dry finish. Pretty good.
