A 3.5% dark ruby beer with roasted notes and a smooth, creamy taste. A favourite of lovers of a good mild. Especially popular in East Lancashire and loved as a guest further afield. One of the finest Dark Yorkshire milds still in independent production.

On gravity at the Volunteer, Bristol. Dark brown with a touch of red and tight, off-white head. Sweet, caramel aroma with a touch of fruit. Flavour was very sweet, with a syrupy edge and gently bitter finish. Aside from the caramel, there wasn’t much to this beer. Disappointing.

Cask (@ Bricklayer’s Arms, Putney): Deep ruby-amber coloured, small lacey brownish head; dry hoppy and roast-malty nose with a subtle, but distinctive fruitiness in the background; moderate bitter flavour, light bodied, but not watery, smooth; slightly lingering moderate fruity-bitter finish. Pleasant, a fine session brew.........

Small yellowish brown coarseish head. Barely translucent dark red body. Faint fruity wooden aroma. Dryish fruity faintly roasty taste with nutty notes. Lacking in complexity and depth. Extremely smooth and mild mouthfeel. Light body. No real aftertaste. Looks nice, but tastes very little, while still being an agreeable beer. (0.25l cask, The Bricklayer’s Arms, Putney, London.)

Cask at Bricklayers Arms, Putney, London, 22 Nov 2008. Dark brown colour with ruby hints. Brief, brown head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of chocolate and dark bread. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, roasted nuts, caramel, dark fruit and a short cocoa bitterness in the finish. Below medium body, dry throughout. In short: a decent chocolatey mild with hints of dark fruit.

Cask at GBBF 08. Very dark black with ruby hints. Thin dark beige head. OK, firstly it’s too cold. But it is a mild. It’s fine. Drinkable, not overly roasted. As a knock down drink with some flavour it’s perfect.
