The first of the Mild's brewed by Burton Bridge Brewery, following on from the success of the XL Bitter, the brewery was asked for a darker beer
Adapting the recipe slightly with the inclusion of caramel to darken the beer and produce a smoother flavour, XL Mild proved an immediate favourite.

Cask-conditioned at the Portcullis, Bristol 10/5/08. Chestnut coloured with a slight head. Light aroma of caramel and red fruit. Flavour was sweetish with a short, dry finish. Did not stand out in any way.

[i] [b] Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival Feb’ 08 [/i] [/b] Poured dark brown with little head to speak of. Aroma touch sour but some fruits coming off as well. Tasted sourish and fruity with surprising amount of bitterness, but then it is a bitter masquerading as a mild, it was one of my least favourites at the event and really didn’t strike me as being anything like a proper mild.
