330ml bottle bought at Beautiful Beers. Shared with Finn, Travelodge session. Decent beige head over a deep dark brown body, fair lacing. Smell of nutshell and toffee. Quite well blended taste of nutty caramel and biscuit. Rater sweet ending, nuts and caramel. Fine depth. Satisfying (Hotel room, Cambridge 14.11.2021).

330ml bottle, Gyle no. 55, bought at Beautiful Beers, shared with Finn, Travelodge session. Decent fawn-coloured head, near-black in the glass. Clingy lacing. Moderate malt-berry nose, dry. Blended taste of chocolate malts and cherries. Short malt-berry finish, mid-dry. Fair enough. (Hotel room, Cambridge 14.11.2021).

330ml bottle bought at Beautiful Beers, shared with Finn, Travelodge session. Near black body, dotted spots on the glass, naked at the top. Distant smell of sour malts. Malt-berry tartness to the taste buds. Ends like that. Drain pour, and not my kind of good beer drinking. (Hotel room, Cambridge 14.11.2021).

330ml bottle as part of a delivery from Beautiful Beers and drunk at home. Reddish chocolate brown with a ring of beige/khaki head. Delicious smell of chocolate brownies with a sickly medicinal joke creeping in. Sweet taste is almost immediately ruined by something sour and a bit vomits. Long medicinal and unpleasant finish. Not sure this is right, especially reading the other rates. There's a good beer in here somewhere but I'm not finding it tonight.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Cambridge Wines. Pours mostly clear, rich gold with a frothy, white head. Lightly sweet with notes of pale bread, sun-kissed grains, mellow leafy bitterness, biscuits, a little English yeast, grass. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Simple dry pale bread to finish, light grass. Enjoyable.

Bottle delivered from Beautiful Beers and drunk at home.dark brown and opaque with a small ring of off-white head. Sour aroma, some soy, some spiced chocolate. Intense sour taste dominated over the natural sweetness of the mild. Long sour finish. Thick flat body. I probably should like this more than I do, but a sour mild just doesn't really do it for me.

330ml bottle delivered from Beautiful Beers and drunk at home. Dark brown and slightly translucent with a ring of khaki/tan head. Scent of hot chocolate, Robusta coffee, French vanilla. Sweet taste with cocoa and coffee beans, plus a little bit of plumand a touch of smoke. Light footprints of bitterness dance quietly on my tongue nearer to the finish. Milk chocolate dominates the aftertaste.Fairly robust body for ABV low carbonation. Very, very nice mild.
