A Gold medal winner in the international brewing industry awards 2000, and a three times bronze medal winner at the Great British Beer Festival in the Best Mild category, this is a smooth, full flavoured, truly dark mild with a rich creamy head.
It has a full body and distinctive roasted malt taste, balanced by its fresh hop character.
Complex flavours and aromas are achieved by blending deeply roasted malt and adding a selected blend of English hops

(can, 44cl) Dark brown, almost black colour with a small but dense beige foamy head. Sweet and roasty malty aroma with caramel/toffee and notes of smoke. Slightly bitter flavour, light bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Roasty malty and slightly papery taste with caramel and traces of smoke, leading into a slim and moderately roasted finish. Not very flavourful. 07.X.09

Can (kindly delivered by Q.D.!) Deep dark amber coloured, stable beige head; dryish toasty-grainy nose, light dry bitter flavour, light bodied, too, and very smooth; almost a tinge of smoked malt in the light and soft roasty finish. Thin, but pleasant......

Slightly toasty, malty aroma. Thin texture. Metallic edge to the taste that also features some dry, smokey maltiness. Quite a lot of flavour for a Mild.
