A beautiful mild brewed for the midlands - perhaps the new home of the mild style beer.

Half-pint in The Harlescott Social Club, Shrewsbury on 2nd June 2014. Sweetest Mild I have ever had (I think). Looked OK, dark with a good head, cold but impossible not to notice the malty sweetness it has. Drank along side a Keg M&B Mild, so much sweeter than it’s M&B mate. I prefered it, I do have a sweet tooth though.

Cask-conditioned at The Wenlock Arms as JW Lees’ Ansell’s Mild 23/0909 - the landlord told me the contract to brew this has been shifted across from Thwaites. As the Thwaites’ brewed rating is here, so is this one. This was dark brown with hints of red and a slight, off-white head. Big malty aroma of cereals, chocolate and dark fruits. A bit thin in the mouth, with more chocolate, a trace of sweet fruit and lightly bitter finish. Drinkable.

(Cask at Lion Tavern, Liverpool, 19 July 2009) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with chocolate, prunes and raisins. Roasted, malty taste with notes of cola, chocolate and dark fruit. As expected quite thin body, but well balanced and tasty. Good mild. (According to Good Beer Guide -09 it is now supposed to be brewed by Thwaites for Carlsberg UK.)

Cask (handpump) @ The Royal Oak, CV8, Kenilworth. Clear medium amber color with a small creamy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, dust. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a short to average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.

Brown; light, vaguely sweet; dark nuts & malts. I did not have this on cask, but keg, as I got caught in the rain and ended up in some chain pub and this was all they had that looked even halfway interesting.
