Cask at the Cock during RBESG; hazy dark brown pour with a tiny white head, fruity aroma, tasted very un-mild but enjoyable.

Cask at the Cock Tavern during RBESG 2014. It pours deep brown with a small white head. The nose is earthy, brown bread, treacle, mild tangy fruits. The taste is bitter, fruity, mild tart fruits, cola, caramel, twiggy bitterness, wood and earth with a very dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Ok.

On tap at brewery RBESG14. Dark brown colour clear thin beige head. Dome roast malt very fruity from the hops. Way too hoppy for a mild. More a dark session ipa.

Cask - Roast malts and nice hoppiness. Deep brown with a thin white head. Light roast and a hoppy bitterness. Lingering on the palate. Not bad.

Cock Tavern. Cask. Very hazy deep amber beer, residual pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry with modest carbonation. Thin dark malts, light thin dark malt cream and equally light earthy coffee. Strong Mosaic hops, fairly bitter here. Touch of passion fruit. Finishes earthy and dry. Pretty full on mild.

Cask at the Cock, 06/05/14. Extremely dark mahogany brown with reddish hues and a moderate beige covering that just about stays for the duration. Nose is dankish mosaic, piney spruce, candied orange peel, toffee, herbal twang. Taste comprises light roast, big hop presence, light mineral, pine, dark fruit rind, faint smoked, nutty tones. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Solid hoppy mild, I could drink a lot of this, loads of flavour for the ABV, I would almost describe it as a Session CDA ! Got that style in there before anyone else!

Cask at the Cock Tavern - Hackney Central, London. Pours clear brown with a fine, foamy off-white head. The nose has a decent bit of roast augmented by burnt grass citrus rind. Light sweet flavor with more roast, darkened bread, some pine and grass, soft grapefruit and general rind. Light bodied with fine carbonation; solid condition. Lightly resinous , burnt pine on the finish, some scorched earth, mellow cocoa, further overall roast, dried citrus. Really nice offering. Lots of character packed in here.
