Cask at Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. Darkish colour with some ruby in the depths. Malty aromas with almost weizenish banana smell. Drinks easily, perhaps surprisingly hoppy for a mild. Nice.

Cask.Marquis of Wellington, Leicester. Medium tan head. Black body. Grassy hop. Bitter. Silky mouthfeel, dry finish.

Cask conditioned handpump Wig & Pen Northampton. A dark mahogany coloured beer with a ruby hue and a thick off-white head and lacing. There is a minimal aroma with just a touch of fruit. A sweetish mild with hints if fruit and a little caramel. Truly mild and low flavoured.

Cask, King’s Head, Carlisle. A hint of blackberry just offsets the tangy, slightly acrid bitterness of this excellent dark mild. Rounded, well made beer that refreshes exactly the way a mild should. Pleasant long lingering toasted oats flavour.

Cask (Ealing BF2008)
Classic dark mild appearance. Sweet fruity hops on the nose. A little watery, but OK. Rich malty taste. Pretty OK mild.

Cask at the Waggon and Horses (JDW), Alfreton.. A really excellent mild. Blackish brown with a tan head, when held to the light a raspberry purple hue is revealed; aroma of cherry and plum; very fruity flavour with raspberry, cherry and plum - rather like an old-fashioned cherryade; depsite all the fruit it’s not over sweet; the finish has dry roasted malts and a hint of hops. A very well put together beer.

Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 2/5/08. Dark brown in colour with a slight tan head. Aroma of red fruit with a hint of roastiness. Flavour had a malty edge before a dry, bitter finish. Good.

Gravity cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 7th Feb 2008. Deep chestnut brown in colour with an aroma of malt, cherries, leather and tobacco. Flavour is a good balance of malt and hops with tobacco notes but unfortunately some vegetable tones too. Good long hoppy finish to it. Interesting but not outstanding.
