Greene King XX Mild is a fine, dark, mild ale with a distinctive taste and delicate aroma. It draws its characteristics from a special blend of black and crystal malts to give a burnt, roasted flavour while the delicate hint of hops in the nose comes from the Northdown variety.

[50cl bottle from a GK mixed box from Waitrose, Bracknell] A dark amber pour with a loose caramel coloured head; sweet malty aroma; cinder toffee taste, quite sweet, but with a touch of smokiness, and a nice barley body; then a slightly drier finish. A rather good mild.
