Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a very dark reddish brown with minimal off-white head and good lacing. Raisins and other dried fruit in the aroma. Sweet in the mouth with roast malts to the fore, plus hints of fruitcake and caramel. Later of a touch of liquorice as well, leading to a slightly fruity finish. This is a decent beer and recognisably a mild.

Mild grains, mild barley, mild everything, mild

Half cask at the Colmore. Dark, creamy pour, thin, silky beige head. Light roasty aroma. Taste is mildly ( no pun intended) bitter, sweet and exceptionally smooth.

Cask from Coach and Horses Dronfield - Deep darkest chestnut body, solid white head. Nose has small roasty and nutty notes, burnt toffee. Taste as expected malt forward, smooth and feels a lot richer in the mouthfeel than the usual milds.
