The Forest Mild, incidentally the true name is "Crix Forest" is 4.0%abv.
The fermentation is stopped quite early to give this ale more body.
It is brewed using Maris Otter malted barley with a certain amount of Crystal ,Amber and Chocolate Malt. The Barley is from East Anglia and the Hops (Bramling Cross and Fuggles) are from Kent.

Cask at GBBF08. Hazy dark brown colour. Small light brown head. Cardamum flavour, I think, definitely some cookie spice. Not bad.

Cask at GBBF 08. Winner of the weirdest beer of the day. Cloudy dark brown with thin beige head. Bit of banana. What’s it supposed to be? A dunkel weisse? A bit of raspberry. Definite banana. It’s a dunkel weisse. Crazy, but really interesting.

Cask@GBBF2007. Dark ruby red colour, big beige head. Aroma is very much caramel, licorace, wood and some hops. Flavour is really wooden and mixed with tropical fruit juice. Then add some slight berryish sourness and slight smoke. Really pleasant.
