Rich, roasted and creamy, our Mild is an unpretentious ale that has traversed time and is still going strong. It may be on the beer endangered list, but Joseph Holt is still well and truly flying the Mild flag. And for good reason.
Dark in colour and silky smooth in texture, this famous northern drink offers a full and roasted flavour. With an unassuming low 3.2% ABV our dark Mild packs plenty of flavour thanks to the use of black and crystal malts with English cone hops, giving a good amount of bitterness alongside a drop of sweetness with caramel and slight coffee notes – it’s no wonder it was so popular with miners after a hard day’s graft.
Set your sights on this rare brew.

Cask at the Old Monkey in Manchester. Rich caramel-flavored dark malt, with good hopping to go along. Still rather light at 3.2%, but good flavor. Slightly sweet with a very dry hop finish, more hops than I was led to expect for a mild. Nicely drinkable.

Cask gravity at Battersea BF 09. Black, very dark brown, lasting beige bubbly head. A proper dark mild from up north, so interested to have it. It’s really drinkable, a bit cola-ish. But decent acidity. Some roasted malt. I’ve ahd a lot worse beers today. Quite a decent interersting light in ABV dark mild, ok dark fruits.
