Cask in The Calthorpe Arms. Vrij heldere diepbruine kleur, vrijwel geen schuim. Geur is moutog, lichtjes zoetig. In de mond os het pok wat gistig, kurkachtig. Smaak is lichtjes zoetig met een vleugje bitter. Lichte body uiteraard, zacht koolzuur.

Cask at the Royal Oak, Borough on 11th June 2025. Deep, yet clear, sepia brown with shallow greyish foam and full lacing. Rich and inviting roast malt aroma. Herbal hoppiness, grasses and roasty malts in-mouth, with an Ovaltine finish. Light bodied with an engaging texture. Perfectly kept.

Poor pour and looks like flat coke in the glass. No real aroma and this does not taste like beer, more like a malty slightly sweet drink. Really watery and ended up being a drain pour. Really bad.

Gravicask, half pint, 3.0 % abv, shared with Finn at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Deep, dark brown body, filmy layer, dotted spots on the glass. Moderate aromas of mid-sweet malts. Moments of caramel and chocolate to the taste buds. Slightly roasted malty end. Bit thin on the swallow. Fair enough. (St Albans, 27.09.2023). --- Beer merged from original tick of Harvey's Dark Mild on 19 Feb 2022 at 12:19

Cask at The Hursts Arms, Eastbourne. Dark black. Watery but with enough flavour to justify a pint. Need to rerate soon..

Cask at the Royal Oak. Dark brown with small beige head. Some roastiness, caramel, light nutty notes. Easy drinkable. Bit bland.
