Pint on cask at the henry Addington canary wharf. Aroma is acidic granny smith apple peel. Tart. Chestnut brown colour with a thick persistent creamy beige head. Looks are about all this beer has going for it. Taste is acid cider apple granny smith. Pretty bad. Could not finish the pint.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol, November 2012. Dark, ruddy brown with a decent, off-white head. Sweet, chocolate and roasted malt aroma. Flavour was similar, with some dark fruits also and a gentle finish. Pleasant all round.

Knights Templar, Chancery Lane 1 Nov 12. JDW Festivaløl nr. 2. Svart. OK litt farget skum som varer. Forsiktig røstet aroma. Smaken litt tynn. Antydning til frukt. Vassent helhetsinntrykk.

Festival ale, shared with Finn, at The Knights Templar. Deep dark coloured body with a ruby tint. Naked black surface. Mid-sweet malty nose, hints of berries as well. Dark malts with a dark fruity touch in flavour added by hint of liquorice. Gentle malt-bitter finish. Soft in the mouth. Nice (London, 01.11.2012).

From cask at JDW Bells. Pours dark brown to black with a deep amber glare and a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malty, breadish, light sweet and dark. Dark roasted malty and bitter into the finish.

[Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading] Brown-black with a thick beige head and a slight fizz. Roasted malt, coffee and chocolate with a hint of cough mixture. Comforting smoke and roasted malts in the aftertaste. A decent mild, although not quite up to the Banks Howling Wolf that was also at this Wetherspoons fest. Together though the two milds have reaffirmed my faith in mild as my favourite style.

Cask at The Bear (JDW), Maidenhead. Magohany with a reddish glow and a thin beige head; fruity aroma; thin with a sweet fruity malt flavour; there’s a touch of bitterness and then a biscuity finish.

Hand pulled pint into a UK sleeve during a beer festival at ‘The Crown Inn, Oakengates (Sep 2011), one of 34 cask ales on hand pulls. Deep, deep ruby red, with a good tan coloured crown of tightly bubbled foam. Roasted malts, rolled in a peat bog, with a melted chocolate bar sort of smell. This beer used to make my bottom ‘report’ in the old days when I had buckets of it, this time I only had the one. Rich and creamy for a dark mild, but only in taste, the body feel was fairly thin or ‘watery’, it is after all only 3.8%ABV. I like it, it may have very little in the way of hops or body strength, but it is very easy to drink and a fine example of the style.
