Jan 11, 2009 Mid dark brown pint with a decent head. Taste is fairly standard burnt malts, sweetness and caramel, mild bitter finish. Ok but unexciting.

Cask at Chelmsford Beer Festival. Red brown colour. Simple aroma but with some lovely coffee malt that continues over into the flavour with a nice and creamy bitter hop finish. Little on the watery side or it could be excellent. Enjoyable mellow porter.

Oct 11, 2005 Cask, Birmingham Fest 05. Very dark brown with a small head. Aromas are sweet and earthy and lightly floral, a touch oaty, too. Flavours are sweet, earthy roast malts with chocolate and berry fruit. Has a nice gently carbonation. Dry towards the finish. Decent stuff.

May 23, 2005 This is a beer with a little bit of everything, but not a lot of anything, if you know what I mean. Yep, it prompted that is it a stout/porter/mild debate in my head too(I would have gone for stout incidentally, not that that matters). Black, with a hint of red. Sweet with a hint of bitterness. Roast malt, with a hint of fruit. Dark chocolate, with a hint of coffee. Smooth with a hint of acidity etc etc. It might sound like a bit of a mish mash but its all pretty well integrated and refined. But, in the end, it doesn’t quite deliver the knockout punch. Mustn’t grumble though. Cask (handpump), Crown Inn, Bacup.

Nov 28, 2004 Hand pulled at the Head of Steam, Euston, with Joeh and Maeib. I had this down as a pretty flavoursome Mild, though as previously mentioend, it is getting harder to tell the difference. Nice roasty aroma, with a dry coffee flavour initially, finding some sweet water afterwards. Nice blend easy drinking.
