[Cask at the Nags Head, Reading.] A glossy black pour with a loose beige head; toasty aroma; smooth milky body with an earthy malt taste and a touch of licorice. A rather nice dark mild.

Cask-conditioned, at the Bag O'Nails, Bristol, 16/10/2017. Near black in colour, with a creamy, off-white, head. Surprisingly hoppy mild, with some chocolate, berry fruits and toasty malts, before a gentle finish. Enjoyable.
