An award-winning cask conditioned traditional dark mild. Well balanced malt and hops gives a pleasant aroma and taste, with splendid roasted bitter flavours.
Black Dog is a traditional dark mild at 3.6% ABV. It has many CAMRA awards to its name and is a well-known brand in the free-trade. The beer is well balanced with a full roast flavour.
The use of crystal malt and roast barley give a deep underlying characteristic flavour, which is balanced with Fuggles hops as the sole variety.

500ml bottle. Gluten Free. Black brown colour with reddish tinge, biege foam head and aroma of dried fruits, brown sugar, slightly cardboardy. Taste is dark malty, roasty, dried fruity, some ash, chocolate and milky hints, earthy with light bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, mild finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - deep brown with amber ro red chinks. Nose - brown sugar and knocking on the door of Jamaica cake. Stewed fruit and maybe date. Taste - molasses and burnt bread. Drier than nose but still generous enough. Burnt raisin and cola. Palate - medium bodied almost. Dry but still rich middle. Nicely tapered finish. Overall - very nice.
