Bottle that I picked up at the brewpub, Oakham, Cambs’ 23-01-09 and consumed 26-01-09 Pours deep mahogany colour but with glints of red shining through and topped off with a white head Some wet woodland aroms stream off of this along with some malt. The taste is very uncomplicated, malty, light chocolate, really easy drinker. This comes across as occasionally a touch thin but otherwise a very nice mild. A7 A4 F7 P4 OV14 3.6

Cask handpump at the brewpub, Oakham, Cambs’ 23-01-09 Pours deep amber with a white head. Condition wise this really was quite excellent. Good streaky citric bitterness with a nice layer of honey, syrup and malts. There is a little bit of toffee banana and it has to be said that this beer drinks far easier than the abv would suggest.

Cask at Crosse Keys Spoons. Gold, lasting beige head. Quite a tasty golden bitter, some herb or spice on this I thought. Slight yeast on aroma, with some sweet citrus hop. Then something like cardomon seeds, something Indian and spicey. Odd. 2.6/5. Re rate at Muggletons JDW Maidstone. A lot better. Clearly my glass wasnt washed properly on last rating. An ok golden ale/bitter.

50cl bottle from Tesco, Alfreton. Gold with a thick creamy off-white head; rich fruity malt aroma; rich chewy malt flavours too, but slightly stewed; with good hops to balance; finish is rather caramel sweet though. Good in parts.

50cl bottle from Tesco, Alfreton. Chocolate brown with a foaming tan head; aroma has smoke and toffee and earthy malts; chewy and fruity malt flavours with some chocolate; and a surprising, but pleasant, degree of bitterness to the finish, which is salty and smoky. A really good bottle of mild.
