From cask at Rusty Bucket on the way to leg 9A of the Green Chain Walk 06.11.22. Dark brown. Bot much head. Fine aroma and taste of demerara sugar, brittle, roasted malt and dries berries. Some bitterness is lingering on.

Handpull cask at Heaton Hops, Heaton Moor. Mahogany and translucent with a creamy beige head. Lots of lacing. Caramel, sarsaparilla, oak, light winter spice. Sweet taste, more sarsaparilla and some caramel, followed by a medicinal bitterness. The bitterness pervades in the long finish. Carbonation is soft to nil. A brilliant old ale.

Cask at Royal Oak. Brown with small beige bubbly head. Slight oiliness. Aroma is quite vinous, but with a bit of caramel sweetness too. Taste is a bit pudding like, lot of dried fruit, and a bit malty too. Nice treacly texture. Quite nice.

Cask at Waterloo Tap. Chocolate malt aroma. Dark cola brown. Bubbly creamy light beige head. Light sweet with a rich umami. Chocolate and dark fruits. Light-medium bodied. Low fat cream texture. Flat carbonation. Long finish. I feel like I should like this more. Decent enojoyable stuff but doesn't have quite enough body to it

Gravity poured pint at Crafty Fellas London on 9th Oct 2018, as Harvey's Old Ale. Ruby hue to the dark brown body, thin beige crown on top. Fruity and malty brew with a mild nutty undertone, full bodied and a very pleasant autumn sipping beer.

Cask at The Magnet, Stockport. Pours opaque deep brown with a beige head. Aroma: roasted malts, bread, caramel, dried fruits. Taste: moderate sweet, toffee, raisins, molasses, brown sugar. Medium bodied, loose carb, sweet then bitter finish. Prefer other Old Ales but it's decent enough considering the lowly ABV for the style
