A traditional dark ruby red mild. Chocolate, black and dark crystal malts provide colour and flavour.
Was also available at 4% but not the same beer as the session porter of the same name.

Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Mid- to dark reddish brown with some translucency. Big chocolate malts, some plummy character. Sweet taste, lots of gritty Ovaltiney malt. Some bitterness right at the finish. Thin body with soft carbonation. I think it's pretty good, perplexed by all the lower rates.
