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.

[i] Cask at the Woolpack, Banbury, 14-10-07 [/i] Poured dark brown with thin tan head. The taste was caramel and malty, very smooth, flavoursome and a touch sweet, but a pretty solid and enjoyable mild.

(Cask, Wenlock Arms, London, 22 July) Colour is dark brown with tawny leather notes. Nose is malty and nutty with notes of cherry. Taste is malty with a slight hint of Coca Cola, a slight hoppiness in the dry finish. Fairly tasty for a mild.

Cask handpull at Wenlock Arms. Deep chestnut colour with beige head. Yeast and malt aroma. Some hop bite on the end. Some malt in mouth. Odd mild. Definitely drinkable with odd hints of flavours and an unusual hop finish. Some cereal in the mouth

Cask@Shackerstone Family Festival MMV, Leicestershire. Pale mild with a caramel aroma and weak flavour with a dry finish. Overall a strange mild more like a premium bitter.
