Jun 1, 2009 Cask handpull at The Pheasant, Ashford. Served with a sparkler. Clear chestnut colour with a thin lassting beige head. Some Marston house yeast on aorma. Bit of toffee too. Advertised as a mild. It’s alright, some character, bit of dryness on finish. It’s just a bit better than average.

May 25, 2006 Good to drink. NOt too mild in taste, but it was interestingly malty. NOt so red in colour, a little greasy, but good.

May 10, 2008 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Pumpclip said ’Premium Mild’. I thought it was a bitter in all but name. Dark amber. Sulphurous aroma. Malt and fruit in the taste. Mid bitter finish. Decent bitter; dubious mild.

May 4, 2008 Cask in the counting house. Aroma is very sulphurus, not even in an appealing marston way as it can be at times, roasty choc malt shows signs but over powering with the sulphur. Taste is thinner choc and biscuity malt than expected, herbal hop and again sulphury. Im guessing this just isnt a great beer rather than neds better cellaring.

May 18, 2008 Updated: Jun 6, 2009Nuneaton ’Spoons, in the midst of a terrifying alcopop and rusty nail lager crawl around Treacletown. Octo made me do it. Red. Smells of dog. Stinkbomb, caramel, wet dunked biscuit, watery apple fruit. OK. 636312
UPDATE En Burbage. Sulphurous dead mush soggy with biscuit and aniseed sprinkles. Zzzz.
