A bold chestnut-red mild with nutty biscuit notes with a delicious hint of chocolate. Brewed using amber malt, caramalt, black malt and choicest fuggles it is an easy drinking traditional black country mild.

Rumours of the demise of this beer have been exaggerated ! Cask at Great Western, Wolverhampton. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a substantial cream head. Yeast and malts in the nose, but not to a huge extent. Predominant flavour is of dark fruits, plus roasted malts and some treacle, toffee and parkin. The fruits linger in the finish. S-s-s-uperb ! The epitome of a traditional mild.
