Had on cask at Churchill's in San Marcos
Look: Dark brown with traces of red throughout with a 1/4 inch head a exceptional retention and some circular lacing
Smell: Mild dark fruits, plums and raisins are very noticeable
Taste: Similar characters as the nose. Plums figs and raisins but in a more muted form and at room temp I was hoping for a bit more
Mouthfeel: Slightly watery which is a bit of a let down with mild carbonation
Overall: I would have to say that this is just a average English mild just due to the lack of flavor the nose was good but the flavors were just lacking. However this beer has a high drinkability
