On gravity at Reading Beer Festival, 01/05/09. Dark brown mild with a slight, off-white head. Easy enough drinking, with some fruity malts and chocolate, but didn’t stand out from the crowd of milds available at the Reading BF.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath, 21/02/09. Dark brown with reddish undertones and a slight, off-white head. Sweet, barley sugar and earthy hop aroma. Flavour was also sweet, with plenty of caramel, cherries and a clean, bitter finish. Enjoyable. Came across as a cleaner version of Wadworth Old Timer.
