A Gold medal winner in the international brewing industry awards 2000, and a three times bronze medal winner at the Great British Beer Festival in the Best Mild category, this is a smooth, full flavoured, truly dark mild with a rich creamy head.
It has a full body and distinctive roasted malt taste, balanced by its fresh hop character.
Complex flavours and aromas are achieved by blending deeply roasted malt and adding a selected blend of English hops

Pours a really dark brown with the faintest of ruby highlights when held to light. Smallish off white head can’t be coaxed into any sort of retention. Smells lightly of chocolate, butterscotch, and caramel, with an earthy almost mineraly aroma as well. Taste is earthy butterscotch with hints of caramel and chocolate. Slight earthy hop breaks through the sweetness but just barely. Light body and level of carbonation with a sweet watery mouthfeel. Not a bad beer and I could certainly drink many of these without hesitation. It was a bit malty I would have liked a bit more hop presence personally.

440 ml can purchased at Royal in Kansas City, Missouri. Pour is black with slight burgundy tones, with a pretty 1 1/2 inch khaki head. Nice settling on the pour. The aroma is lightly roasted, cracker malt along with a touch of milky sweetness. The taste is mildly caramel sweet, milky, then turning to the dry roast malt of the nose. Flavors play together nice. The palate is light to thin bodied, lower fine carbonation and the roasty dry finish. Light bodied without being watery. This was an enjoyable beer, particularly midday (ok, late morning) watching the footie.

Served on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a tall creamy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Faint nutty aroma. The taste is chocolate, nutty notes, faint fruity notes and a hop bitterness that lingers. Thin-medium bodied. I quite enjoyed this one.
