500ml bottle from Tesco. Ruby/dark chestnut colour with lasting tight beige head. Aroma of a mild, bready and yeasty nose. Not too attractive, but so much better in mouth with touch of raspberry fruit and a touch sharp too. Overall quite impressed

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Deep brown colour. Strong ensilage aroma, some would probably say "with a hint of vomit", some caramel too. Mouthfeel maybe a bit thin. Malty flavour with some caramel. Not much bitterness.

An amber beer with a disappearing head. The aroma is way too sweet for me with notes of berries. The flavor is roasted malty and very sweet. It prickles the tongue while passing - not very nice. And the body is thin.

Dark beer with great head retention, a nice dry and roasted aroma and a dry flavour with a smooth and quite a light finish. Overall compared to the majority of milds that I have had this is a very good beer.

Brown-red. Light bodied. Oily with coffee aroma, amd all kinds of other strange flavours. A strange brew...
