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

[Cask at GBBF] Very dark brown. Prunes and roasty malt dominate the aroma. Sweetish and very firm for its size. Very roasty and almost woody. Lightly raisiny finish. An excellent mild!

(Cask at Dispensary, Liverpool, 25 July) Colour is dark brown, almost black, with a dense off-white head. Nose is roasted with notes of coffee, a bit closed. Taste is roasted, with coffee and chocolate. A bit on the thin side. A rather tasty mild.

Cask at County Hotel (JDW) Ashford. Black in colour. Very chocolate malt nose and flavours with burnt charcoal notes. Surprising amount of flavour for a lowish alcohol beer Not as it should be in Liverpool, but the choc malts are wonderful

[Cask at GBBF 2003] A pitch black beer with a fine dense head, that disappears pretty fast. The aroma is like in a fermentation cellar, strong with esters - stinging the nose, combined with a little sourness. The flavor is as if it hasn't finished fermenting - it tastes strongly of yeast. It also contains notes of roasted malt. It has a good palate compared to the ABV.

light chocolate taste and licorice notes, very black and a surprisingly full body.
