Cask @ The Brewery Tap, National Brewery Centre, Burton. Pours a deep ruby, pale tan head. Aroma is of a lightly fruity chocolate malt persuasion, a touch mild-like. Taste is light, smooth, gentle chocolate with soft underlying dark fruits. I figured it out as a porter at the time, especially given the strength and chocolate notes. But well, if it's a mild then its a mild.

Cask at the Standing Order. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of light toffee, biscuit and faint orange. Taste is quite bitter up front, then a lingering sweetness. On point for the style.

8th Feb 2019; hand-pulled cask pint at the Codsall Railways Buildings. Light golden body, fluffy white crown. Mild citrus leanings from the hops, a tad sweetness from the malts, not too exciting or different, but it did quench my thirst.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. A golden amber pour with a ring of white head; malty aroma with some sour orchard fruit; then a tart fruity taste. Rather plain and one dimensional.
