A Dark Mild brewed with mild malt and Kentish Hops leaving a roasted aftertaste on the palate.Mild was originally known as a training beer and this bears relation to the use of the Naval phrase "Midshipman". Meaning A non commissioned officer below the rank of Lieutenant. Usually regarded as being in training to some degree. Was also known as a "Snotty". The lowest form of rank in the Royal Navy where he has authority over and responsibility for more junior ranks, yet at the same time relying on their experience and learning his trade from them.

From cask at The Dog & Bell, Deptford, with Terje and Jon Einar 16.05.22. Almost ebony. Aroma and taste of roasted dark malt, liquorice, coffee brittle. Balanced with subdued hops. Smooth mouthfeel. Good drinkability, but perhaps a bit spineless.
