Pint in my local at the quiz night. Good way to start the evening with a lot of rich malt and farmyard taste and a low abv. It was quite watery which is what let it down.

Bottle shared courtesy of Grumbo. Aroma of roasted malts, ash, biscuits, bourbon biscuit and fruits. Slightly carbonated, ashy notes and plum comes through in the taste. Only downside is it was slightly watery, otherwise very good.

Bottle from Old Hall Farm in Hedenham. Deep purple maroon color, scant head. Aroma of plums, figs, cherries. Taste is mixed berry compote on burnt toast. Pretty hefty bitterness. Tasty and interesting.

7/8/2021. Bottle bought at the brewery gate. 3.7% abv. Pours very dark brown with a small frothy off-white to beige head. Aroma is mild roasted malt, fruit, berries, nut, caramel, chocolate. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Slightly watery. Average carbonation. Fruity ashy finish. Tasty traditional mild.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - thanks Graham, superior Mild purveyor!]. Darkest brown, quasi black colour with ruby shimmer and average, thick, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Sweet-ish, yeasty fruity and dark malty aroma, notes of plum and cherry, some dark chocolate, chocolate biscuit. Taste is slightly bitter roasty, chocolately, dark malty, sweet-ish fruity, notes of dark chocolate, plum and cherry, mild bitter hoppy counterpart; slightly dry finish. Creamy-watery texture, smooth, soft and silky, minimally cloying palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Exactly what I like about Mild Ales: light, but relatively rich in taste, harmonious and balanced - very nice!

Rare mild tick at the Fat Cat, Norwich. This version weighs in at 3.7%. It pours darkest brown with a tiny off-white head. The aroma is earthy, gravel, wood, dirt, molasses and damp leaves. The taste is rustic, bitter - sweet, molasses, dark fruits, malt loaf, earth, leather, charred wood and spice. Finish is dry and earthy. Light + body and soft carbonation. Has a sort of rustic charm to it. Decent mild.

Bottle. Pours a brown colour with a huge longlasting tan head. Malty hoppy aroma with some roasted hints. Roasted malty flavor with some hints of caramel. Also some hints of hops. Malty finish with a nice bitterness. More bitter than over milds, but it is a good one.
