Keg at the Caernarfon spoons. Nitro keg. Almost clear dark brown to black, creamy head. Taste is sweet dark malt, caramel, toffee. Some nuttiness. Not as watery as I expected.

Cask @ Black Bull Inn, Bangor. Darker brown coloured, with a clearness and a smooth, slightly off-white head. Served very chilled, the mild still had plenty of character, with some enjoyable light roasted malts in both aroma and taste.

Nitro keg at the pub formerly known as The Sparrowpit (in Sparrowpit) - Deep jet black body, creamy white top, very attractive. Nose is a bit dampened by the temperature, a faint whiff of coffee, but that’s it. Nice smooth mouthfeel gives the coffee and chocolate malts a good boost, and for a nitro I’d say I’d have this again.

[on Nitrokeg at The Railway Inn, Borth] This is for the "Dark Smooth" version. A decent mild, despite being on Nitrokeg; chocolate and caramel dominate.
