Half pint, hand pulled from cask at The Old Coffee House, Soho. Served at ambient temperature and found to be in fine condition. Golden-yellow body with a very slight haze. Bright naked surface. Inviting floral aroma. Fruity hopped flavour with a nice grapefruit touch and ending with dry bitterness. Refreshing. Medium bodied (London, 02.08.2009).

Half pint, cask, served at room temperature and enjoyed in a perfect and classic British pub atmosphere. The name of the pub is The Old Coffee House, an outlet in central London for the Brodies beers. Slightly hazy, golden body. Fragile lacework on the glass. Nice citric aroma. Rather sharp taste of seville oranges with a lingering mild bitter aftertaste. Well balance and bodied for the low abv (Soho, London 02.08.2009).

Cask via handpump at the Star, Highgate, London N19 on 18th July 2009. Amber, and slightly hazy, with short-lived, fully-dissipating off-white head. Sharply bitter with malt aromas overtaken by salient bitterness which lasts to a very long dry finish on a slightly textured mouthfeel afforded by mild natural carbonation (condition). Some grassiness develops later.

Cask at the Star, London N19, on 5th July 2009. The gold-coloured beer was served crystal clear with a small, but lasting white head that left slight deposits on side of glass during moderate speed of consumption. The ale was on the best form that I have drunk it. Hempy hop aroma moves quickly to a very bitter taste on the roof of the mouth with the herby hop continuing, finalising with a long, satisfying finish of hoppy bitterness.

Cask at the King Charles I, Kings Cross, London on 2nd July 2009. Virtually black with a lasting cream-coloured head. Looks beautiful in the glass. Coffee and roast barley notes strongly pleasant in both nose and main body taste, leading to a long finish on a pleasant mouthfeel. The ale was in excellent condition at this pub.

A very satifying, full-bodied stout, thick in texture, almost as black as guinness, with a soft efervescent umber-tinged head. Strong earthy and roasted flavours combine with subtle smokiness then all three flavour attributes linger in the mouth between sips. A thickish mouthfeel makes the stout all the more rewarding. Exquisite.

On gravity at Reading Beer festival, 01/05/09. Near black in colour with hints of red. Very easy drinking, with plenty of caramel and sweet, red fruit, backed up by milk chocolate. Pretty good.

Cask Conditioned at Wenlock Arms, London, as Brodie’s Mild
The color is amost black. Mix of caramel and chocolate, very light roasted malt, with no thrills, classic (and for me boring) Mild.
