Combining the lyrical elegance of Wales’ best loved bard and refined quality of Wales’ favourite beer, Milkwood epitomises the Dylan Thomas’ maxim - “Live, Love & Drink Beer”. The unique character of rye crystal and malted oats brings russet red colouring and smooth toffee poetically balanced by a crisp bitterness from Goldings hops.

March 2011: Lovely mid-amber colour with a creamy head (both in colour and texture) that produced some good lacing. Rye crystal and malted oats gives it the colour and aroma, challenger and Goldings give it the bitterness. Easy to drink and very, very smooth. Most likely the best beer tasted during the session at a Wetherspoons Beer Fest.
