Cask at the Dispensary, Liverpool. Dark ruby brown and only slightly translucent. Generous tan head. Liquorice, hazelnuts, black pepper on the aroma. Taste is sweet and nutty with peppery spice and blackberry rounding to the long creamy finish. An absolutely perfect mild, possibly the best example of the style I've had the privilege to drink.

Cask at The Dispensary, Liverpool. It pours near black with a thick, dense tan cap. The aroma is earthy roast, umami, liquorice, toasted nut and coffee grounds. The taste is firmly dry, light bitterness, toasty grain, charred wood, earth, liquorice and some coffee grounds. Light to medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Fulsome stuff. Nice body. A rather decent mild.

Hazy pale golden color with a fine white head. Nice lacing. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium body and fine carbonation level. Better than normal for a cask ale. Ok balanced sweetness versus bitterness. Malty, herbal and mild citric flavor. Nice refreshing cask ale. Very session able.
