Cask at The Lyric. It pours clear deep ruby-brown with a decent beige head. The nose is wood, roasted malt, earth, light caramel, coffee grounds and varnish. The taste is smooth, light bitterness, toasty malts, earthy roast, wood, leather, coffee grounds, nut, wet leaves and pepper with a dry finish. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. A good example of a mild. Decent.

Cask @ The Grapes, Oxford. Dark chocolate brown, translucent. Lively for a cask beer with a decent khaki head. Walnut, bitter chocolate, flint, earth. Some slight metallic tones. Taste is a balanced but assertive bitterness leading to a grainy dry finish. The aftertaste is too bitter for me though. Watery mouthfeel. Basic and well put together. A good example of a UK mild.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. An attractive deep reddish copper colour with a scummy looking cream head; malty aroma; deep malty taste, with some plummy fruit, and chocolate; then a long, earthy bitter finish, with a lasting chocolate malt aftertaste. Excellent.
