Aromatic roast malts give a deep red colour and Fuggles Hops give a mild level of bitterness and aroma.

Cask handpull at Liberty Bounds JDW London. Clear deep ruby brown beer lasting tan head. It’s a toasty roasty dark ale. Dark fruits. A little ashtray. Decent condition. Very good dark beer. A bit like an old. Not a stout nor a porter. Not a dark mild. I would say an old ale. I liked the sour blackberry

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Brown with a thick beige head and a light fizz. Caramel with slightly fake milk chocolate and a little dry woodiness that just about stops it from being too sweet. Ok mild.

Cask at GBBF 2016 - Day 5. Pours deep brown with a frothy, light khaki head. Nice aroma, with hints of milk chocolate, dark berries, subtle roast. Light to medium sweet flavour with more soft roast, well toasted biscuits, raisins, dried berries, rounded cocoa. Light bodied with fine carboantion; great condition. Well balanced on the finish, with more toasted biscuits, cocoa, faint earth, dried fruits, berries. This is a quintessential mild. Nothing to fault here.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. A deep glossy chestnut colour with a ring of cream head; earthy aroma; rather thin, with a sweet nutty caramel taste; and a drier caramel finish. A satisfying mild.
