A dark session beer with a delicate blackcurrant taste and light coffee notes with no harsh bitterness or astringent bite; a tasty refreshing pint!
“Coalface” is a modern take on the Milds that washed coal dust from the throats of miners for generations.

4/6/2018. Cask at the Half Moon, Darlington. Pours mahogany ruby brown with a lasting creamy off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, malt, coffee and fruit. Medium sweetness, light roasted bitterness. Moderate body, watery texture, soft carbonation.

Cask at Half Moon, Darlington. Brown black colour with reddish tinge, creamy beige foam head leaving lacing and roasty malt aroma. Taste is roasty malt, dark fruity, with chocolate and some mild bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry finish. Well balanced, nicely drinkable.

Cask (Lady Greys, Newcastle) - Dark brown with red tinges. Cocoa, dried fruit and caramel in the aroma. Fruity and chocolatey taste with notes of cocoa, raisins, chestnuts and caramel.

On tap at Foxtons in Berwick on Tweed. Appearance - very dark in fact opaque but not quite black. It has hints of chestnut and even purple in there. Lovely creamy cask head. Nose - Crunchie bar and perhaps going into liquorice. Taste - mire liquorice and honeycomb with chocolate backdrop. Palate medium bodied with a creamy texture that is also crunchy in places. Finish is a nice bitter and sweet combination. Overall - a tasty Mild.

Pigs Ear. Clear deep amber beer, small pale cream coloured head. Smooth palate, light and a little dry. Very light dark malts, whisper of bubblegum, not too sweet. Very light touch of tangy dark fruits. Light dry finish. More unsweet bubblegum in the aftertaste. Okay mild.

Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2013. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is earth, coffee, mild acidity, caramel and a touch of plastic. The taste is soft roast, toast, earth, coffee, mild acidity and cola with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A bit dull really...
