May 3, 2005 Cask@Reading BF. Nice soft mouthfeel. Lightly roasted flavour, with some soft cutting acidity, an innofensive dark mild.

May 2, 2005 Gravity at Reading Beer Fest, with Kook, Duff, Chris_o and Joeh. Red hued black, no head. Medium paced black beer. Friendly easy drinking, dark, sweet and balanced. Nice, but not greatly challenging.

May 1, 2005 Deep brown colour with a ruby tinge. Not as dark as some. I thought I picked up some smoky notes lurking beneath the roast malt on the nose, but I was suffering from a heavy cold, so I was struggling with aromas. The palate was dry and had a slightly mineral/ashy consistency (which I found in a number of the milds at this festival). Light bodied. A decent, traditional, easy drinking mild but nothing really leapt out. Then it is a mild so it wouldn’t be fair to criticise it for not being an attention-grabber. Cask (gravity), Reading beer festival 2005.

May 1, 2005 Roasty grain aroma. Black with no head. Roast flavour dominates with some cara and choc notes. Quite dry. Medium bodied, ok.
