It’s quite basic even for a mild. Soft toasted brown bread, a caramel accents, rather sturdy earthy-ashy bitterness. A little burnt toast. Not bad.

Dark brown with a creamy white head and minimal chocolate malt aroma. Light bodied but smooth, lightly roasted malt, a touch of fruit and nut chocolate and a dry finish.

Third of a pint in my local Spoons on Sunday 8th March 2026. Dark brown body, soft beige roof, looked good. Decent enough mild with a pleasant malty base, semi sweet before the hops turned it a little less sweet and giving a dry feel in the finish.

Handpull cask at the Turks Head, Retford. Dark brown and very translucent. Small swirl of khaki head. Chocolate malt aroma with a touch of black liquorice. Very sweet taste, a bit much for me.loads of liquorice with a little bit of coffee. Watery body with no carbonation. It's just about okay.

Cask at Wheatsheaf, Stoke. Pours a (very) dark reddish-brown with a small foamy cream head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly malts, but with some hints of caramel too. In the mouth it is sweet and smooth with a creamy texture, but also a little underlying bitterness. Flavour is fruity malts plus traces of chocolate and cola. This decent enough but a little one dimensional.
