I used to drink this frequently and to be truthful I never noticed any discernible difference when it had a name change to hooky dark. This best mild was decent enough but overall I felt it to be thin and lacking in flavour, guess what the new one was pretty much the same, mmhh.. Hooky missed a trick there I think.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Chestnut brown. Nutty aroma. Light bodied with soft mouthfeel and notes of hay. Bitterish grassy finish. Holds up extremely well for a beer with only 3.0%.
