A dark, full-flavoured mild, nutty and thick; almost reminiscent of an old ale.

500ml bottle from the brewery. Poured a hazy dark brown, almost black colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasty malt, yeast, nutty. The flavour is light liqourice bitter, with a light roasty, ashtray, nutty, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Poor and mildly infected too.

500ml bottle [delivered by my main Mild provider Grumbo - thanks!]. Quasi black colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, tan head. Slightly chocolately dark malty and minimally musty aroma, a touch of silage and moss, a touch of liquorice, roasted nuts; the musty touch becomes reinterpreted as minimally smoky and peaty after the first sip. Taste is slightly dry, roasty, minimally smoky and peaty, dark malty, minimally nutty, diluted hints of cocoa, cola, coal. Minimally watery texture, minimally sticky palate. Multifaceted, oscillating, quite interesting - but a bit weird as well.

CAsk at GBBF 2016. It pours clear deep brown with a decent, bubbly beige head. The aroma is soft, rich roasted malt, toast, cocoa, liquorice and coffee grounds. The taste is toasty, ashy, liquorice, wood, spice, umami, tar, coffee grounds and a touch of astringency. Finish is dry and earthy. Comes together pretty well and drinks easy. Decent enough mild.
