(Cask at CASK Pub & Kitchen, London) This beer was closer to a dunkel or a dark mild than an ESB. There were molasses and mild roastedness both in aroma and taste. Despite the style confusion I liked drinking this beer. The aroma could have been a bit fresher - now it was a bit musty. Otherwise a flawless beer with decent taste.

Cask at CPK. Pours a clear, amber-brown with a mild, white head. Holds a light roast aroma, with some caramel and brown sugar. Fairly sweet flavor, malty, with very little bitterness. Light to medium in body with soft carbonation. There’s some dry roast in the finish, very mild, and perhaps some light fruits. Mild in character overall, and very drinkable.

Cask at Market Porter, London. Pours a mostly clear gold with a soft, white head. Hoppy aroma with lots of grasds. Lightly sweet with cracker malt then tons of dry, sandy and grassy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes dry and hoppy with faint sugar notes.

Cask at the CASK Pub & Kitchen during Meet the Brewer night, 4th October 2010. Copper with thin white foam head decaying to a ring, Citric and yeasty notes in aroma. Citric, grassy and slightly cheesy in-mouth. Rather bitter finish that develops nicely. Pleasant textured mouthfeel.

Cask at the CASK Pub & Kitchen on 4th Oct 2010 during Meet the Brewer night. Dark copper with off-white head. First impression is of sweetness and caramel. Hops in-mouth somewhat overpowered by this sweetness, Fairly sweet endtaste and smooth mouthfeel.

(Cask at GBBF London Earl’s Court, 4 Aug 2010) Copper colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with wort (or brewing house), slightly toasty malt and dark fruit. Malty, fruity taste with notes of sweet wort, bread, apricots, nuts and dusty hops in the finish. Light body, fairly sweet. Decent but hardly exciting.
