Half pint from the cask at Leicester Indie Beer Festival, Thursday 26 June 2025. Pours black with a beige head. Aromas & tastes of peanuts, chocolate, coffee & roasted malt. Medium body. Long bitter finish.

As it says on the tin "Old School Mild". Definitely took me back to my youth when I drank lots of dark mild. Very good. Pint at Stockport beer festival.

Cask at Anvil. Shifnal. Pours a very pale straw with a greenish tinge, and a medium sized foamy almost white head with good lacing. There’s floral hops in the aroma along with hints of peach and lychee. In the mouth there is a brief initial burst of juicy sweetness before the bitterness of floral hops comes through. Creamy texture and flavour of citrus, lemon and peach lead to a dry and bitter finish. This is decent but has too much citrus for my liking.
