Cask at Hoopers, SE5, London. Nose is malty with some sweetness. Pours a dark brown colored beer. Mouthfeel is soft and light. Taste is very subtle, malty, fruity finish is moderate. Not bad.

Gravity cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 7th Feb 2008. Deep brown in colour with a great aroma of caramel and milk chocolate. Tastes of caramel malts and rich fruit hints. Incredibly drinkable but with an intensely flavour-packed finish. A superb mild!

Cask.Dark but a little thin.Slightly sweet with some maltiness. Pleasant and not too demanding though a bit more body would have helped.

Cask at GBBF 2007. A hazy brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also light notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of chocolate and roasted malty, leading to a slightly dry finish. The body is thin.
