Cask at GBBF 2007 ... Deep copper colour ... sweet with a little vinegar ... little wood in nose ... slight sour woody notes not great balance. but ok

Cask-conditioned at the Old Spot, Dursley, Gloucs. Deep brown with reddish tones and a slight beige head. Aroma was very malty, with plenty of red and dark fruits and some almonds. Easy drinking for a 5% beer, the flavour was of more fruit, with some chocolate and a long, bitter finish. I could drink this all day.

Cask Small white rim over dark red-chestnut beer. Earthy, leafy and slightly (sweet-)bready notes, as eggbread. Malty, sweet, good quality malts. Sweet, again bread or patisserie-lik malts, with a discreet afterthough of ligthly bitter hops. Retronasal there’s a flavour as from "Haagse Hopjes (Dutch coffee caramels; even a bit smokey, warming up. Medium bodied at best, a bit slick. Filled in by restsugars. OK beer, quite nice. Just not Strong - as the pumpclip adds to the above name.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 25 Nov) Mahogany colour with ruby notes, small head. Fruity nose with dark fruit, berries (blueberries, blackberries) and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with notes of wild berries, cherries, chocolate and caramel. Balanced sweetness throughout. Velvety and nice.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Ruby/chestnut colour. Some choc, some fruit, tastes like an ESB should do. Doesn’t hit the heights, but competent enough.

Merton Beer Festival Sept 2004. Red/brown in colour much like the description say’s, very nice aroma, and a wonderful full flavoured pint, plenty of malt not to sweet great depth simple excellent. Uley beers are without doubt superb when served well and are one of my favourite’s I find they have quite a unique taste and they are almost always extremely good. I remember having a brewery trip with Worcester CAMRA there back in the early nineties we were left with a glass and the cellar shown the Old Spot, Uley Bitter and Pigor Mortis (sadly no more) as someone went looking for the brewer who was at home. We had about three hours merrily drinking on a glorious summers day and happily helped ourselves like we were instructed what a wonderful day, we were truly wellied by the time the brewer eventually turned up.
