3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask (gravity) at Tamworth CAMRA Festival 2005. Ho hum stuff, deep ruby-black, lightly roasted, rather thin on the lips, a truely ’mild’ mild.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask, Criterion, Leicester. Vert dark red/brown with a cream head. Aromas are earthy and light roast malts, slightly sweet with berries. Quite hoppy. Flavours are dry, light roast malts with chocolate, spices and coffee bitterness. Hoppy for a mild with a gentle sparkle. Pretty good.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Harbury BF. My first beer of this rather quaint but very enjoyable and well run small fest in a village hall. Thanks to Glen (or more correctly Sandra) for saving us seats! A black mild with a nice white head. The aroma had a little roasted malt, some smoke and a little chocolate. The taste is dry and mild. Again a little roasty and some smoky chocolate. A nice mild.

Cask Conditioned at Harbury Beer Festival ’05. Black beer with a bubbly malt head. Highly flavoured mild with a roasted chocolate base. Thin and drinkable with a late hop finish. Moorish and very good for the style.

Hand pulled at the Criterion, Leicester. Black, with ruby hints. Thin bodied, with no head. Extremely strongly flavoured Mild - sensational for the ABV. A rich burst of coffee flavour, with a sharpness and contrasting sweetness within. Very good indeed - a great start for this brewery.
