Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours black with a warm tint of red and a small, rough off-white head. Some hard roast and overripe fruit in the nose. Medium body, very low in carbonation, hard roast and ashes with dark fruits and a vague tartness. Rather ashy finish. 261010

Cask gravity at Reading BF 08. I seemed to have quite a few milds at this festival, but this was a genuine dark ale. Deep ruby with thin beige head. Decent dark beer with lots of dark fruits. Rather a lovely aroma of choc and then velvety choc on the end. Actually superb and just as good as their dark mild.

[i] [b] Cask at the Royal Oak Beer Festival, Oakley, Bucks/Oxon border 03-05-08 [/i] [/b]Pours black with a thin white head. The aroma is really quite hoppy with some streaky liquorice there as well and also some nice roasted notes. Taste is really good, the liquorice returns along with a real punchy bitterness it occasionally gets a bit sticky and the malts really underpin things very well, a lovely beer but I’m a fan of Great Oakley and rarely have I had a bad beer from them, very good. I would have struggled to catergorize this had I have not known from the programme notes that it was an Old Ale, I thought that maybe it was another top notch yet slightly unusual Mild from Great Oakley.
