Based on a recipe from the 19th Century, this mild is a very dark ruby colour. It has a powerful malty, fruity aroma that fills the glass. The taste is strong malt, chocolate, intense fruit and a malty finish.

Cask gravity at Oxford Beer Festival 16-10-08 Pours dark reddybrown colour not much of a head. Some chocolate instantly starts to show in the mouth along with a rather nice subtle rush of sweet but tangy cherry which was a really pleasant surprise. This really does have an old fashioned quality to it, not much bitterness, good fruitiness but nicely kept in check by malts and chocolatey sweetness, lovely beer.
