| Dark ruby coloured ale which is lightly hopped with a fuity malt aroma leading to a dry bitter finish. |

Nice flavour initially, and it's not as heavy as it looks. Unfortunatley after about half a pint the lack of ABV becomes apparent and it can get abit 'watery'.
If you like dark beers and don't want to get hammered give this a try. |

| Low ABV dark ale, usually something I would avoid but I was pleasantly surprised! A great alternative to Guinness |

| You cant expect much ABV from a mild, however this lacked slightly in flavour but had a good bitter overtone and a decent aroma. |

| Reddy brown ale with a malty nose. Slight hints of liquorice within the somwhat hidden bitter/sweet tastes. OK but a little lacking in overall flavour. |

| Cask conditioned at the Alexandra Hotel ("The Alex"), Derby. Very dark ruby colour, nearly black. Low thick head. Aroma of leather and roasted malts. Very smooth and drinkable with a well balanced roastiness. Coffee elements. A truly enjoyable dark mild! |

| Tasted this mild in the Saltcot, Saltcoats (JDW) in May 2010. Clear ruby black in colour with a thick creamy buff tan head. Strong roast grain aroma that lingers well and a good creamy mouthfeel. Good lacing throughout. Dark malts give a big juicy treacle toffee flavour which is full in the mouth. Initial sweetness abaits somewhat as drier flavours come through. Black malt is also there with a dusty burnt toast note. The dry theme continues with weak instant coffee and bitter plain chocolate notes in the aftertaste. Bitter hop resins compliment the dry malt element well. A dry liquorice taste comes through in the moreish finish. A very traditional style of mild this, harking back to the good old days. Recommended. |
