Cask at the brewery taproom. Pours clear dark brown with a beige head. Aroma & taste is light sweet, nutty & smooth. Light to medium body, fine carb with a dry finish. Pretty decent interpretation of the style

Bag in a box at the Last Plantagenet, Leicester. Light gold and clear with no head. Tangy apple smell with a bit of pear skin and vinegar. Sweet taste but there is a touch of cidery tang at the finish. Watet body. Not world-beating but decent.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Wahoo! At last! My 5th Rutland Rate! Have wanted to find this beer for a while now, good on 'Spoons getting this in. Decent condition too. It's a nice-looking beer - glowing mahogany in hue with a decent beige head and a light fizz. There's toffee, caramel, a touch of coffee, some plum and some wood. The mouthfeel is full, but a little slimy from the caramel. There's a hint of rough vodka. As others have noted, it's not a stout; it sits somewhere between an ESB and a strong mild I reckon. It would make a nice autumn or winter warmer, but possibly wasn't the ideal brew for a warm summer's day. Who cares though - it's a RUTLAND RATE!!!

Pint at the Crosse Keys. A dark colour in the glass and a very foamy and long-lasting head. The taste and the mouthfeel was all about those malts and they were quite sweet. A definite amped up mild, but not yet an Imperial Mild (that's something to try should anyone decide to brew it). A bit too much for a lunchtime beer and at the end it became a bit cloying.
