Cask at Yew and Ewe, Brookland. Black in colour, chocolate malt on nose, almost petroly. Excellent malts with grainey burnt malt finish. Some acidity and goodish length finish. One of my favourite dark milds. Wonderful, can drink it all night as it is only 3.4% Re-rate cask handpull at Yew Tree Inn Barfrestone. Even better than before. Excellent choc/coffee aroma but just gorgeously mild. Body is satisfying and the finish is long and exciting. So much flavour for a beer so weak

Cask at Watermill Inn, Ings, Lake District. A brilliant lunchtime pint. Looks like a stout and has a lot of the roasty stout flavours. Hint of chocolate. Amazing body for such a low abv. Could drink loads of it!

Ruby colored liquid, with a medium sized white head. Sweet roasted malt aroma. Sublime coffee and caramel flavors jive with chocolate and dark fruits. There’s a lot of flavour going on for such a low percentage. Extremely satisfying and smooth mouth feel. Overall this is a fantastic experience, and a mild that would make an excellent session drink.

Gravicask at The Bricklayers Arms Lancashire Fest, 14th Sept 2007. Near black in colour with a meaty aroma - made me think of salami. Flavour is a heady mix of roast coffee, dark chocolate, rich fruit and smoked meat. Sligthy thin palate, but then it is a mild. Overall, very good indeed.

Cask in countign house for wetherspoons beer fest. Must be noted this was in perfect condition. This is totally my type of session ale, incredible full body for the %, chocolate through and through darker fruits giving that tiny hints of tartness, really well balanced an nothing dominates though its full. Amazing stuff that i cant wait to have again.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Almost black. Coffee aroma. Medium sweet with creamy, filling mouthfeel. Notes of licorice and chocolate. Solid and extremely flavourful for a 3.4% beer. Salty, bitter finish. What a session beer!!

Cask @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm April 13 2005
Pitch black, but surprisingly un-burned in aroma. Almost no hints of dark malts. Light body. Just a hint of chocolate. Sweet aftertaste.
RERATE: Cask @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm
Liqourice and burned bacon in aroma. Thin but well balanced taste with roasted and burned malts. An easily downed session mild.
