500ml bottle: BB 31st Oct 2021. Drank at home on 30th Jun 2021. Bought in the National Trust shop at Knightshayes. Bottle conditioned. Off-white crown on a dark brown body, mini-haze from the sediment I allowed into my glass. Got to say I was a little disappointed with this, haven't had a Mild for a while and was looking forward to trying this; it just seemed a bit 'fizzy' and 'bland'. Malty it was, hints of chocolate maybe, but nothing to get my senses excited or extended.
