A traditional dark mild but with a surprisingly fresh bitterness right to the end, slaking your thirst.

Pours black with a small foamy tan head. Aroma is dark malts, brown bread, and some chocolate and blackberry notes. A malty taste, brown bread, milk chocolate, and caramel flavours with some blackberry and treacle notes. A drying malty, light roasted finish.

Handpull cask at the Merchants Arms, Rugby. Mahogany brown and translucent with a thin beige/khaki head. Malty aroma, some gravy notes. Sweetctaste, again some savoury almost meaty character. Bitterness in the finish with some chocolate malt. Thin body but hey, it's a mild. Not the best example of the style but certainly enjoyable enough to try.
