Dark brown with a frothy light tan head and a fruit malt aroma. Smooth with dark fruits, some roasted malt and a dry, very slightly bitter finish.

Hand pulled pint in my local Spoons on 16th December 2025. Clean and clear golden body, white crown that stayed around. Grassy, floral nose with a slight yeastiness. Taste is leaning towards orchard fruits and a light sweetness before a lingering bitterness in the finish.

Wetherspoon 2025 Autumn Beer Festival. Ale#20 of 26 untried possibilities at the fest. Dark clear brown colour. Certainly a mild in design, but its strength makes it a dense slow sipper and the alcohol is noticeable as a light sweetness impacting on taste.

A pretty decent mild. Not a beauty but it ticks the boxes. Lightly sweet dark malts, a hint of burnt caramel, prunes, dark berries, suggestion of licorice. OK condition. OK balance. Drinks fine.

8/10/2025. Cask at wetherspoon beer festival, at Cricketers, Ipswich. Lovely pour. Starts quite full on with liquorice/aniseed. This mellows to a very acceptable level. Malty, toffee, chocolate, dark fruits alongside. Quite full bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Very flavoursome. Drying finish. Cut above the average Elgoods offering. I liked it but imagine it is a “Marmite” beer on opinions.
