Cask at Babington Arms, Derby. Pours a (very) dark reddish-brown with a medium sized cream head and good lacing. Caramel to the fore in the aroma, alongside plums and roasted malts. In the mouth it fluctuates between sweet and bitter, with flavour of dark fruits, malts and some hoppy hints. Hints of chocolate and blck wine gums later on as well leading to a fruity finish. This is quite decent.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise - London. Pours clear chestnut with a creamy, tan head. The nose holds toffee, brown bread, dry fruits. Light to medium sweet flavor, somewhat metallic, with more bready malts and toffee, along with soft and ripening fruits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Light sweet finish wtih lightly toasted bread, toffee, some tangy berries. OK.

Bottle from the Vale Brewery Shop, Brill, Buckinghamshire, (Barry purchased this) consumed at Isobel’s (Loz’s mums) 20.05.11 This was better than expected, in fact not too bad at all (not usually a fan of Milestone in bottles) Touch smokey, some coffee, warming, with a little chocolate also. Very tasty. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Cask på Bankers Draft, Sheffield 1 Okt 10. Mørk rødbrun. Lysebrunt kremskum som fester seg til glasset. Søt fruktig aroma. Veldig pen. Smaken søt karamell. Litt uvariert. Søt bitter – og litt tørr avslutning.

Deep mahogany coloured body under a rather dense, light brownish head. Aroma of earthy, dark malts and dark fruits. Notes of resinous hops to the taste buds added by caramel malts. Jam-like impression offset by lingering bitterness to the aftertaste. Smooth palate. Medium bodied. Cask, half at Bankers Draft, Sheffield 1 Oct 10.
