A premium dark mild. Roast and chocolate malts combine to give a full bodied, complex character to this rich and robust ale.

From cask. Pours dark amber to brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruity and mild spiced. Sweet, bitter and slight herbal. Medium dry and slight spiced into the finish. Smooth and easy.

Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Halloween Beer Festival, 2010. Pours ruby-brown, dark, with a moderate, off-white head. Holds a dark malt aroma with brown sugar and faint roastiness. Lightly sweet flavor with some mild fruit notes. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Has a sweet finish, with understated roasted malts and chocolate syrup. Quite good overall.

Dark ruby-brown. Thin head. Soft, toffeeish and chewy - almost date-like. Very soft body. The fruits are date-like and the malts are toffeeish, giving this mild a sweet and mellow but very tasty character.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Chestnut brown with a dense cream head; aroma of nutty malts; smooth and creamy texture but rather thin, with nutty malty flavours; the finish is lightly bitter and milky. An OK mild.

[Gravity cask at Chippenham beerfest] Sweet with plain chocolate at first, with toffee malts and a touch of smoke coming through. Chcolate is definitely the big theme here though, and it worked well for me.

10th July 2008. Supposedly a mild but tastes more porterish. Very distinct molasses and toffee. No bitterness. Quality!
