Cask@Old Fountain. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, fruits and some slightly syrupy notes as well. Flavour is at first very sweet malty, caramelly and also has some nice liquorish notes. In the finish the whole thing goes quite wooden and grassy bitter.

Ruby-brown, no head. Slight carbonation feels odd in the style. Rather weak and watery. Some smoke & chocolate but ruined by sulphur & minerals. Not great. For some reason reminded me more of a low-grade bitter than a mild. c9

On tap at the Wenlock Arms. Very dark brown color. Soft hazelnut toffee nose. Deep rich milk chocolate, toffee, molasses, cherries in the mouth. Very smooth. Light body with just a touch of chocolate in the finish. Surprisingly a bit warming for its strength. Still amazing depth and one of the best milds out there. Very underrated.

From keg at The Dove Street Inn, Ipswich 4 May 08. Dark brown colored. No head. Modest aroma of chocolate and coffee. Watery impression but hoppy notes. Too light to be a proper porter. Hardly any bitterness.

Half on cask at Dove Street Inn (4.2% ABV). Black-brownish body. Thin, off-white head. Aroma brings flashes of liquorice and chocolate malt. Mild roasted taste with coarse-grain and sweet chocolate. Bitter afternotes. Quite well bodied for its low strength (Ipswich, 04.05.2008).
