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 red/brown with a small beige/slightly grey head. Aroma is oaky and fruity, bit of cherry in there I think. Quite creamy malty with a slight sourness. Bit thin in the mouth, and but with a nice fruity finish. For me one of the better Harveys beers, but still not wild about it.

Tap at Royal Oak. Ruby brown-red body. Ultra smooth, creamy body. Nutty, smooth caramel malts. Excellent. World Class example of the style. My favorite Mild perhaps.

Cask at The Lord Nelson, Brighton. Dark brown color, small brownish head. Earthy raisins aroma. Light-bodied. Light raisins and chocolate in the flavor. Hints of hops in the finish. A bit like drinking watery kvass.
