A smooth, full bodied, chocolate coloured dark mild with rich roast malt flavours balanced with the herby spiciness of Fuggle hops.

Handpull cask at the Queen Edith, Cambridge. Dark brown with a tan head. Lots of lovely natural carbonation. Gentle scent of chocolate malt. Taste is sweet and malty as expected, but there is pronounced bittering hop on the finish. Bittersweet and slightly sour aftertaste, with the lightest touch of Marmite. A very good mild.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2014. Dark brown clear beer thin beige head. I rather like the dry roast on this. Dry on the finish. Decent. Kept me interested even though I was clearly drunk.

Bree Louise. Cask. Clear deep brown beer, no real head. Palate is light and semi dry with very modest super fine carbonation. Very light touch of dark malt. Quite tangy, tea like tang! Dash of dark fruits and a whisper of candy fruits. Light dry finish. Interesting!

Cask at the Duchess of Cambridge, London. Pours clear, dark brown with a fine, white foam head. Dark toast nose, light leather and cocoa. Light sweet flavor with dark, doughy malts, some dirt and dry, earthy cocoa. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Light sweet finish, fairly dry with dark toast, dirt and faint cocoa. It’s a fine mild.
