Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark reddish brown with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasty malt, light red berry fruits. The flavour is light sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, light sweet caramel, nutty, red berry fruit palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. An awesome mild! Not like the mild my grandfather drank, but times have moved on!
