Half pint, cask ale at Piccadilly Tap. Shared with Finn. Stable off-white head to a coal black body. Spotty lacing down the glass. Malty nose, a bit creamy and mid-sweet. Mild caramel malts to the taste character, hints of bread. Mid-sweet malty tail. Just alright without greater excitements. (Manchester 05.02.2019).

Cask, at The Wharf. A clear, brown beer with little to none carbonation or head. Dried fruits chocolate and toffee on the nose. There's bready hints in the flavor, with the same toffee, dark dried fruits and chocolate found in the aroma. It's medium bodied and soft, far from effervescent, and with a lasting finish where also some bitterness show up. Decent, boring. 180224

(Cask by gravity at White Horse, Parson's Green, London, 25 Nov 2017) Dark reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark fruit, caramel and roasted nuts. Malty taste with caramel, dark fruit, liquorice, raisins, dark bread and a mild roasty bitterness. Medium body with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.

Pours a reddish brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma is malty with some vine fruit and an earthy nuttiness. A malty taste, dry in the mouth with a nutty flavour and more dryness in a fruity finish. One pint is enough for me.

Cask up the White Lady. Pours clear red-brown with a thin beige head. Light fruity aromas, dark berries and faint chocolate. Taste is more on the chocolate side. Faintly nutty. Can't beat a good cask mild! Wish I had time for another.

Cask. Sole Bay Inn, Southwold. Clear, deep, ruby red. Foamy, beige head. Nose has vine fruits. Some toffee and treacle notes. Hint of dried stone fruit. Taste is light, toffee sweet. Some dryness. Light body. Some stickiness. Dry, vinous finish. Fantastic condition, as you’d expect, next to the brewery. Nice one.

Cask handpump at The Eels Foot Inn, East Bridge, Suffolk. Friday Christmas Day 25th December 2015 Pours a chestnut colour, some bubbles skittering across the top. Not sure of the style but tastes like a mild to me those typical mild flavours come through, so caramel lightly malty and a bit thin. It’s ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
