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.

Many thanks to Minutemat for this bottle! Great rich dark malty beginning. Nuts, caramel, roast. Full and round for the 3.7%. Roasted dry nuts in the aftertaste, moderate bitter, refreshing and round with a great roasted bitterness on the end. Great dry caramel with nuts.

Cask at Bulls Head, Sedgley, 31/05/17. Vague aroma of cheap choc. Cola brown. Creamy but blotchy beige head. Very mild - some bitterness, a tang to it. Medium bodied. Slick. A prickle of carbonation. Long, slightly sour, finish. Decent enough mild. Had better, hard worse. It does what it says on the bottle.
