Inspired by a classic Mild Ale recipe this dark mild blends smooth full-bodied malt flavours with a soft aroma derived from traditional hop varieties to give an eminently quaffable ale.

Cask at the Raglan Arms, Rugby - 19/09/12. Dark chestnut brown with ruby hues and a good tan head. Decent lacing ensues and retains well. Toffee, nuts and a little dark fruit and background chocolate on the nose. Taste matches exactly. Lightish body with minimal carbonation and a really pleasant smooth feel. One of the best milds Iโve encountered.
