Complex mild perhaps not in the traditional sense but we like our beers hoppy! Ruby coloured, coffee, chocolate aroma with hints of dried fruits and sour cherry leads to a soft yet full roast flavour, fruit and malt vying with the rounded hoppy bittersweet finish. Not only for the mild fanatics but the bitter lovers too. Both will be left satisfied and wanting more.

Cask @ Guide Dog, Southampton. Translucent dark brown. Looks lightweight. Aroma and taste say otherwise! Aroma is maltissimo, still flavours as diverse as cherries and earth come through. Sweet and light with sour edges. Bitter aftertaste. A brilliant mild which excels with complex aroma and taste while remaining a mild in character.

This review is from the 30th CAMRA Cotswold beer Fest (2006). Up against Bateman’s Dark Mild, it came second in my opinion. Red-Black in colour with no head (it was gravity feed into my glass, by a lady who was not too great at the job). The aroma was there, but you had to search for it, roasted malt maybe, a touch of berry’s, not sure which type. Tasted like a Mild should, malty and a hint of caramel. I will have another if our paths cross, but I will not be searching high and low for it!

On tap @ the Haymarket. Pours dark amber to brown. The nose is initially quite expressive with resin and toffee being the main thing. The taste has more of the same. As the pint goes down, the flavours generally seem to become flatter. The palate is medium bodied and textured with quite a cloying finish. Overall, not for me, I’m afraid.

Cask at London Drinker 2012. Pours clear, golden-brown with a small, bubbly head. Some dirty earth and light, burnt grass in the nose. Faintly sweet flavor with burnt malts and earthy bitterness. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Semi-dry finish, light tang, faint plastic, dirt, and burnt grass. Very light cocoa. Uninspiring.

Very dark brown beer, light just passes through. Seme dry palate. Low carbonation. Roasty malt and bittering hop, not much else. A bit of an effort.
