Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival 6th and 7th Feb 2009 Pours almost chesnut in colour, nice fruity nose with some nuttiness also showing. Taste is really quite nutty, a little earthy at times, some fruit. This is just lovely, a simple mild nothing more nothing less and along with the Nottingham Rock its been great to see how popular these two milds have been. A7 A5 F7 P4 OV14 3.7

Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 08. A new beer from Rother Valley. Deep gold with thin beige head. Excellent condition. Honey aroma. Bit earthy in mouth. Excellent hop bite on finish, bit nettley even. Not overly honey flavoured but definitely there and a good satisfying finish.

Cask at GBBF 2007. An amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, and so is the flavor, leading to a dry bitter and nutty finish.

Huge brown head. Deep dark brown body, barely translucent, with a strange, slow carbonation. Acidic coal-and-chocolate aroma with smoky, earthy notes. Dry smoky, earthy, burnt taste with watery chocolatey notes. Slightly one-dimensional. Dry smoky coarseish earthy aftertaste. Good, but could use more body. (0.5l bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger.)
