Hand-pulled pint in ’The Crown Inn’ Oakengates on 22 Dec 2012. Pours a light amber with an uneven white head that stays around and gives some lacing on the pint sleeve glass. The beer is dry, yet malty, semi-sweet, yet hoppy. In other words a blend of flavours that combined to produce a beer without any distinctive features (it was bland for a Christmas Brew).

Cask at the Wandsworth Common Spring BF, London. Pours clear, golden-brown with a foamy, bubbly white head. Toast, dough and light toffee aroma. Light to medium sweet flavor, lightly earthy with toasty toffee and faint, leathery fruit. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Decent bitter bite to finish with toasty wood, dirt and leaves, toasty toffee, hints of honey and dark sugar. Very good. What I expect of a mild.

(Cask at Edgar Wallace, Strand, London, 18 April 2012) Very dark brown colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, dark chocolate and dried fruit. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, chocolate, raisins, prunes, gentle liquorice hints and a decent roasty bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Quit a nice and tasty mild.

Cask at Wandsworth Beer Festival, March 2012. It pours reddish-amber, with a tiny beige head. The nose is leather, wood, cardboard, biscuit and dry roast. The taste is very dry, leather, wood, charcoal, roasted malt and a hint of dark fruit, with a long, very dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not much to it at all.
