Bottle from Home Bargains. Clear amber with nicely formed off-white head. Aroma of malt, toffee, grass, moderate sweetness. It has quite a moreish sweet toffee, malt, burnt bread crust with a slight herbal and grassy hop finish. Decent bitter.

Pours black with moderate sized beige head, lovely lasting top with lacing. Aroma is light roast, coffee, treacle, fruity. Taste is sweet, coffee, nuts, fruity, some chocolate. Nice depth to this mild.

Hand-pulled half-pint in Loggerheads on 7th November 2024. Only had this because it was 'on offer' and cheaper than anything else, didn't realise I hadn't rated it before! Anyway it was a clean golden pour with a decent white affair on top. Malt forward and slightly sweet, light hop bitterness, all a bit subtle and bland really.

Cask. Copper beer with a cream head. Light malt aroma. Caramel flavor. Medium bodied. Caramel and light spice linger with light grain.
