A dark bodied mild, sweet, with a roasted malt bitterness yet light enough to drink in serious quantities.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 1st July 2010. Almost black with thin off-white head. Rich malts and slight notes of coffee and vanilla - almost like a mild version of Milton Nero. Zingy mouthfeel and highly quaffable. Very well kept in the pub.

Coarse dark beige froth covers only half the beer. Just barely translucent dark red body. Earthy fruity chocolatey aroma with wooden hoppy notes. Dry-sweetish earthy dusty cocoa taste with fruity notes. Mild mouthfeel. Light body. Dryish earthy wooden resiny aftertaste. Quite nice. Not too pleased with chocolate/fruit clash, but still a good beer. (0.5l bottle, RealAle.com.)

Cask, from the Central Southern Bar at GBBF 09. Jet black body carrying a few floaters on the surface. Mild roasted malty aroma. Vaguely taste of roasted, dark malts. Semi-sweet impression. Not bad for a British mild (Earls Court, London 05.08.2009).

Brownish coloured body with a light tan head. Aroma of light roasted malt, subtle mushrooms and a bit of a nutty scent. Light to Medium-bodied; Sharp metallic flavour up front fades into a malty taste and a bit of pit fruits in the taste. Aftertaste shows some nutty tastes along with a very mild coffee and chocolate type taste. Overall, a decent beer; definitely good to try! I sampled this pint on cask at The Market Porter in Borough, London, England on 11-March-2008.
