Cask (handpump) @ GBBF 2007, London. Dark brown color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light brown head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel, fruit, berry, light alcohol. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat to soft.

Cask conditioned at The Three Judges, Glasgow, as "Sarah Hughes Ruby Ale" - I presume this is the same beer? Very dark ruby colour, creamy head. Moderate malty aroma with caramel. The flavour is very malty and sweet with loads of caramel, slightly roasty. Decent hops in the finish. Not easy drinking, but nice.

Cask at the Devonshire Arms, South Normanton, Derbyshire. Deep ruby red, served absolutely flat with no head; rich port wine aroma; rich port wine flavour, chewy and full, developing as the beer warms in the mouth; a fruity "christmas cake" aftertaste. Overall, a really excellent mild, served at its best.

Cask handpull at Wenlock Arms. I have seen this at a lot of festivals, but never had it. Black/ruby colour with lasting beige head. Bit of sickly malt. No real hop but dryish finish. Syrupy malt. In fact very syrupy malt. Couldn?t drink too much of this. Nothing bad at all about it, but it?s like liquid malt. Re-rate. Really good fruity malty mouthfeel is great. Lovley beer

I think I had a contaminated bottle: when I poured barely 4oz into an imperial pint glass, the whole glass rapidly filled with foam. The primary flavor was sour. Some hints at fruity malts and maybe spicy hoppiness. Garnet color - big brownish head.

Cask @ Old Green Tree, Bath. Dark ruby-brown. Fruity aroma with lots of malt. The malts on the palate are gentle, slightly toffeeish, with a biscuity/fruity accent in the finish. The alcohol brings a little dryness. Excellent.
