A stronger, modern version of the mild that was once the country’s staple beer. Deep chestnut with aromas of sweet toffee and grassy hops. H.D has a fantastic chestnut colour, with aromas of sweet toffee and grassy hops. Sweet chocolate malt and hazelnut flavours top it all off for a satisfying finish.

Bottle from Vine & Grain. Appearance - opaque and close to black. Beige head. Nose - dark chocolate, smoke and liquorice. Taste - tar, smoke, liquorice and molasses. Also still a chocolate edge to it. Palate - medium bodied, roasty middle with light malty bitterness on the finish. Overall - lovely beer.

Cask, Spoons Victoria. Slightly fruity and malty aroma. Ruby brown. Thin white head. Light bitter. Dark fruits. Cannes. Some zest to it. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft to flat carbonation. Astringent finish. Not too bad. A fruity mild.
