Cask (gravity) at Old Dolphin, Derby Pours a cloudy golden yellow with minimal head. (NB it’s NOT “extra pale”). Has an aroma of marmalade, berries and some straw. Marmalade again in the mouth, with some peppery hops and slightly sweet. Finish, however is a horrible bitter lemon which lets it down completely.

Cask at Old Dolphin, Derby Pours a very dark brown with a cream head. Nose is unremarkable - just some vague hints of cocoa. In the mouth it is a bit watery, but there is plenty going on. Mainly sweet with malts, biscuits and caramel, but also hints of bitterness with apples and coffee. Finish is also divided between sweetness on the tongue and bitterness on the roof of the mouth. A very nice complex beer for such a low strength.

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.
