Cask at the Prince of Wales, Farnborough. An opaque, dark chocolate brown colour with a ring of translucent head; nutty, malty aroma; thin in the mouth with a sweet, chocolate malt taste; and an earthy bitterness leaving a trace of licorice. Seems more of a dark mild than a stout to me.

Cask at the Jolly Sailor, Farnham. A dark, reddish copper colour with a tight cream head; aroma of red fruit; malty body with some pleasant fruit and caramel; then a dry finish with a spicy bitterness. A nice autumnal ale.

Cask at Prince of Wales, Farnborough. 24/06/16. Little aroma. People eating next to me which is what I am picking up - slight fruity aroma coming through but not sure that’s the beer. More amber than golden in colour. White head - some froth but blotchy. Bitter, bordering on sour, with a medium body. Suppose it’s better than some of the tasteless golden ales you get out there but not one I want more of. Perhaps been on for a while?

Cask at the New Leathern Bottle, Warfield. A slightly hazy amber pour with a thin scummy-looking head; biscuity malt aroma; light citrus bitterness with a biscuity finish. Rather disappointing.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. An opaque black pour with a ring of beige head, and a pleasant cherry red gleam when held to the light; somewhat oaty aroma; and a smooth milky body with a soft oaty grain taste; then some sweet rusk to finish. A pleasant mild, but not as fruity as I’d like.

Cask at Reading Beer Festival. Didn’t like their mild that I’d had just before but a friend recommended this one so thought I’d give the brewery another chance. It’s mahogany-black. Chocolate, coffee and roasty malt. Sweetish. This is much better than the mild. Nice porter.

Cask at Reading Beer Festival. First one at the fest, and my first from this new Berkshire brewery. It’s dark brown. It tastes sour, bitter, and earthy. Some malt behind this, but frankly it’s a bit unpleasant. Not sure it’s meant to taste like this? Poor start to the fest.
