01 Jun 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Moles - Double MM Mild | 3.60 |  | Still finding milds although it is now June. This is a dark brown mild with a slightly hoppy and bitter character. Some malt to counteract, but the finish is fairly dry and bitter. My score 15/20. |
27 May 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Salamander - Anubis | 3.90 |  | Dark brown mild with rather too much hop bitterness for a mild. Some maltiness evident however. My score 14/20. |
23 May 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Foxfield - Cabin Porter | 4.00 |  | Dark brown porter with good malty body. Some hop bitterness in the finish. My score 16/20. |

13 May 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
Very busy but as a fine day most people outside.
| Bridgehouse - Dark Mild | 3.60 | | Braved the crowds specially for this and was not disappointed. Total chocolate malt bomb, beige head and lingering chocolate malt finish. Just like Batemans DM used to be like in the 80s/90s. My score 17/20. |
11 May 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Pictish - Black Diamond MIld | 3.50 | | An explosion of dark malty flavours in the initial hit, with coffee, chocolate and toast all mixed in. Towards the finish slight fruity citrus notes creep in before the roast flavours linger in the finish. My score 16/20. |
| Banks's - Hanson's Classic Mild | 3.30 | | Another resurrected brew from the Marston's stable, this is a dark brown typical West Midlands mild, sweet and malty with little or no hopping. My score 16/20. |
| Bridgehouse - Barnstormer | 4.40 | | Quite sweet and malty with caramel and toffee flavours with a hint of diacetyl. Little hop character to speak of. My score 15/20. |
04 May 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Dark Star - Victorian Ruby Mild | 6.00 | | Full bodied ruby mild with great depth of flavour. Fruitiness and a little chocolate from the malt lead to a dryish, vineous finish. My score 16/20. |
| Cannon Royall (located in White Rabbit) - Fruiterer's Mild | 3.70 | | Ruby red mild with some hop bitterness and malt balance. My score 15/20. |
| North Cotswold - Shagweaver | 4.50 | | Well balanced stronger bitter. My score 15/20. |
| Williams Brothers - Birds & Bees | 4.30 | | Pale honey beer with a very sweet honey taste. A little unbalanced I feel, with any hop or malt flavours squeezed out. My score 14/20. |
