| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 25, 2002 Cask version: This was a lot different than the kegged version, and I generally agree with Nutfield, that it was a much creamier and smoother beer. However, the drastic temperature difference between the two might make it hard to make a complete side by side comparison (cask beers generally being warm).
Keg version: Good as far as mild’s go I suppose, something which my lower than normal rating might reflect. I find it hard to objectively judge styles that I generally don’t care for though. My suggestion is to try it yourself, perhaps do what I did and get it in a 4oz sampler. (keg rating 3.0) Nuffield (2747), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Sep 10, 2002 Cask version: It was nice to have this side-by-side with the non-cask version: there ARE differences between these two. Much smoother, creamier, with a frothy and substantial head. Although, the carbonation is too intrusive here. Still, some nice flavors emerging (as with the non-cask Mild).
Keg version: Little aroma (true to form for a mild) but on tasting there’s something nice going on here. I wouldn’t call it maltiness, but there are caramel overtones. Served too cold. Hint of red in the color. Keg rating 2.7
