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.

Hand-pulled half-pint in my local Wetherspoons on 29th June 2018. Ruby hue to the brown body, smooth beige head that gave some heavy lacing. Roasted and toasted malts ruled both the nose and taste, a decent Mild all round.

Cask at JDW, Birmingham Airport. Poured a clear dark brown with a frothy off white head. The aroma is nutty, roasty malt, dry hop. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter with a smooth, rich, roasty, dry charcoal, dry hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Hazy brown color, average sized off-white to beige head. Smell and taste malts, lightly dark fruits, a bit sweet initilly but then it has a nice bitter finish. Nice malt base with a suitable touch of dark fruit and pleasant bitter finish. Nice.
