Keg at the Soar Point, Leicester. Dark brown, opaque with a creamy uneven khaki head. Keg milds, man... The aroma is a bit hidden, but once it warms up I'm getting malty chocolate, a touch of plum, some liquorice. Sweet taste, very chocolatey with liquorice notes combined with a sweet spice character. Finish with a tantalising suggestion of black cherry. Heavily carbonated. Too cold and a bit too fizzy but a great mild.

Cask at the Head of Steam, Birmingham. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour a bubbly round off white head. The aroma is malt, yeasty, gluey, plum. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a smooth, big yeast, light tart red berry fruit palate. Medium bodied with flat carbonation. Somewhat poor and not what a classic English bitter is all about. It lacked real bitterness for a start, had no backbone and no real malt or hop character. Things can only get better.
