Handpull cask at the Coach & Horses, Thorpe Road, Norwich. Translcent, mid- to dark brown with a light beige head. Nutty, malty aroma. Typical of a good mild but nothing particularly outstanding about it. Sweet chocolate malt at the start of the taste, but it ends with a markedly bitter finish. A decent enough mild without a lot of character.

Cask at the Coach and Horses - Norwich. Pours clear, deep gold with a lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma holds pale, bready malts, nips of tangerine, orange. Light to medium sweet flavor with simple bready pale malts, orange and tangerine, pine needles, melon. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with sweet, pale bready malts, more tangerine, some meringue, light bitter hay. A nice sessioner.

Gravity poured pint during the 2013 CAMRA AGM in Norwich. Really dark body, deep ruby red/brown with a creamy head. Burnt malts ruled the nose and taste: roasted coffee and dark bitter chocolate flavours come into play early on as well. Earthy rather than rich or creamy in the body feel, depth of flavours good. I’d had nothing but golden citrusy beers before this during this session, I needed a dark malt laden brew and this fitted the need in perfect style.
