A rich dark mild with bags of character from the lavish use of chocolate malt.

Cask at Chelmsfaasarhd Beer Fest. Clear deep amber beer with a reddish tint. Small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, smooth and fairly dry, modest fine carbonation. Thin chocolate malts, a thin earthy coffee. Mild esters and a mingy trace of ripe fruits. Light and semi dry finish. Hmmm, one of those milds where you wonder if milds going extinct might of been the best thing. But of course, plenty of other milds still tasting flavoursome.

Cask at the Cambridge Winter Ales Festival 2016. Mid-brown, watery-looking and flat. Used coffee grounds and cereal in the scent,sweet taste with some bitter-sour nearer to the finish. Body is weak, it tastes a bit like beer-flavoured water. There are some decent flavours in here but when all is said and done, it’s not my kind of drink.
