On cask at the PIB. Pretty cool to see a cask out there. Pours a copper color with a medium white head. A big bready floral citrus hop nose. The flavor is big toffee, marmalade, soft fruity elements, no bitterness. Certainly not a PNW IIPA which is fine it is a British style brew. Yeasty, dusty sweet finish. Solid.

On cask at PIB 2016, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma brings lots of piney hops, English malt and bready notes. Flavour is very sweet, with resinous hops and sweet bready caramel malt. Sweet but not too cloying. Solid stuff for what it is.

Imperial pint at Stumbling Monk - $6. Cask, of course. Murky golden color. Soapy but sticky head. Surprising amount of carbonation for a cask. A thick and smooth mouthfeel. Fairly hoppy without the offputting aspects of this hop heck, it’s drinkable and the hop doesn’t annoy me.

Cask pour pint at Safeco Field, cause we have an awesome stadium. Golden yellow pour with a ton of foam head and lacing. Sweaty hop aroma. Flavor is bitter up front, nutty, and a smoothed out finish. Pretty good.

On tap at Horse Brass pub in Portland-USA. Pours nutty/amber hazy color, super tick off white head with so much retention. Nose: tea, orange, some mango, a bit crazy experiment to mix Eng and American styles. Mouth: again English all the way, more nutty, more American fresh hops. Lovely. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Re-rate: had this on cask at Brouwers and I feel like it’s a much different beer. Toasted malts, chocolate, light earth, full of flavor throughout the pint. Thin bodied and easy to knock back but damn tasty. (Original rate: Bottle labeled "Dark Mild" but I’m pretty sure this is the same beer. Dark brown. Earth, light biscuit, toasted malt, some fruit notes. Not all that interesting and a bit watery. )

Cask pint pour at Special Brews. Pours a dark muddy brown color with an infinite amount of foam head and lacing. Soft cocoa and big coffee roast aroma. Dry dusty flavor with a big espresso coffee finish that will linger. Feels just like I slammed a cup of coffee. Cream body. Unique to my usual porter. Pretty good.

Cask pour at Special Brews. About time I track this beer down. Mild ales are harder to track down than I expected. Seems like some mild ales are being classified as other things. Opinions I guess. Pours a near black color with a ton of tan cream head and lacing. Beautiful cask pour. Flavor is a little nutty, some chocolate malt, and some sweet caramel. Finishes a little on the plastic side, which was odd, but it didn’t ruin this for me at all. Good beer to session with. Good stuff.
