Originally brewed as a mild with less hops than our other beers: we dropped the word Mild from its name almost immediately. A truly stunning beer that is often overlooked amongst our range.
A hoppy russet, bittersweet fruity beer with malty notes on the nose, accompanied by a biscuit and caramel finish on the palate.

Handpull cask at the Old Horse, Leicester. Ruby brown, translucent with a foamy beige head and considerable lacing. Wordy, nutty aroma with light notes of cinnamon and toffee. It's reasonably sweet at first but then turns a little bit medicinal near the finish. Decent but ultimately unexciting, although it's nice to have a pint of cask.

Cask @ Bod, Newport. Textbook bitter. Ruby brown appearance, off white head. Nice cool temp for once. Gently sweet nutty malt on the nose. Taste brings forth breezy caramel, dried dark fruit, nutty malt. Good sessionable stuff.

8/8/2019. Cask at the 2019 Great British Beer Festival. Pours clear dark ruby brown with a small bubbly lasting off-white head. Aroma of toffee, malt, hops, dark fruit, citrus and grass. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, soft carbonation. Light bitterness to finish. Lacked some body but otherwise not bad.

Cask. Dark brown color with ruby highlight. Aroma is berries, fruit jam, some dark malts, but not too much. Taste is the same, though quite heavy on the earthy flavours, rather sweet. Oily mouthfeel witb low carbonation. Just ok.

27th Nov 2018. Cask half-pint, hand-pulled at the Bailey Head, Oswestry Shropshire. Dark brew, tanned head. Semi-sweet malty molasses rule the taste, some dried fruit flavours too, nose is malt led like the flavours. Decent enough, not seen or had it for years (hence no rating from me before).
