On cask at Sankey's Taphouse, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma brings out light dry cocoa and toasted bready malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with light powdery dry cocoa and toasted malt. Enough bitterness to balance. Smooth and creamy palate. Very nice dark mild.

Half pour (cask) at The Wellington. Dark and slick pour, tiny ring of head remains. Aroma is mellow, roadty, but tadte comes in fuller, bitter and sweet, all with a silky consistency. Hits the spot.

Cask, half-pint, shared with Finn at Cornubia. Almost black body, upper part lacing, naked black surface. Earth and chocolate on the nose. Mixed taste of chocolate malts, dark berries and dark fruits. Rather sweet malt-accented ending. Smooth on the swallow. Pleasing. (Bristol 29.04.2017).

Dark brown color. Tobacco leaves, coffee and slight nutty nose. Med full bodied. Very malty good mouth feel, but doesn’t deliver the depth of Hobson’s Mild. Decent straight forward brown ale.

Bottle from Stirchley Wines and spirits, Birmingham. Poured a dark red with a thin tan short-lived head. The aroma is malty but rather weak. The flavour is bitter with smoky roasted malts. A super beer and another winner from Beofulf.

Mild in May: bottle conditioned 500ml. Out of date by some four months, poured slowly into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on 8th May 2012. Deep, dark Ruby red body with a huge biege head that gushed out the bottle. Malty nose and taste, fairly rich and full bodied, well carbonated and interesting. Chocolate and coffee hints from the maltiness, but not too heavy or overpowering. Fuggles hops kick in late and give the beer a balanced bitterness to counteract the malty sweetness initially found in the flavour.
