Cask (Vat & Fiddle, Nottingham) - Dark brown with red tinges. Blackcurrant, blackberries and treacle in the aroma. Slightly sweet taste with liquorice, fudge and blackberries detected.

Hand-pulled pint in the Castle Rock owned ’Eagle’, in Boston Lincs on 24th May 2014. Like it’s bottled brother it pours a deep, dark reddy brown with a solid tan head. The malty nose is also very similar. Semi-sweet and smooth in texture (compared to the bottled version). Easy drinking and pleasant.

Cask at Crown and Anchor, Welby. Dark with a decent head. Fruity with a slight liquorice hint. Nothing special but perfectly drinkable beer.

Gravity-fed cask at Barista, Chelmsford. Quite a basic mild, almost black with a tan head. Mild chocolate aroma. Not bad, inoffensive. but afraid there are much better milds about, maybe its aim at the ’younger palate’ making it rather more bland...

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - 21/04/12. Dark cola brown with medium off-white head. Sweet malt nose backed by hops and a little whiff of smoke. Malts, wood and a little dark fruit in the taste. Lightish bodied - a little on the watery side even for a mild, but drinkable.

Cask at Wellington, Birmingham, 3.8% ABV
The color is very dark, almost black, with creamy head. It has a mild and fresh aroma, light roasted malt and light apple juice, with traces of peach. The mouthfeel is light and smooth; the dark caramel and chocolate flavor is mild, subdued; it has a light fruity and lemony trace too. Balance and elegance. Some roasted malt appears in the final.
Excellent modern take for a Mild.

Draft. Clear dark brown beer. Soft palate. Very well balanced. Just a touch sour which makes it interesting. Malty sour with a little hop. Semi dry finish.

Cask at the Edgar Wallace. Pours a dark, ruby-brown with a slight, beige foam. Charming aroma, definitely some citrusy, resiny hops in there. Nice flavor, a tad soapy but some nice grapefruit, slight bread, juicy oranges. Weird, delicious, but nothing like the milds I know. More like a black IPA I’d say. Light to medium in body with fine to average carbonation. Some nice, understated bitterness in the finish, very citrusy with faint malts and fainter roast. The only thing holding this beer back are the soap notes. Otherwise, great stuff.
