(Cask at Royal Oak, Borough, London, 28 Nov 2007) Dark mahogany colour with brief, beige head. Malty, nutty nose with dark fruit, hazel nuts and toffee. Fruity, nutty taste with notes of dried fruit, hazel nuts and hints of yeast. Slightly dusty hops in the finish. Nice mild with the typical brewery character.

Cask Chestnut coloured beer under B.C."H.". Smokey, meaty nose, like smoked brisket or smelling like some good quality children’s sweets. Very mild (obviously), sweetish, bit bready and pleasing taste with a delicate sweetness, some mild chocolate and a straw/hay flavour. Palate - there’s the plug. It’s lighter than light. Nothing there to speak for itself. NIce mild, paying hommage to its class/name, well worth trying.

Dark amber color to brown, thin persistent head. Light aroma, malt and wood. Very round mouthfeel for a Mild, malty, with a fair amount of caramel, and a very balanced final. Good.
