330ml bottle bought at Offie. Off-white head, deep copper coloured body, scattered lacing. Aromas of dried fruit and caramel malts, inviting. Sweet taste of jam and caramel malts, added by yeasty fruitiness. Drying close, sweet. Nice, a tad too sweet in the long run. (Hotel room, Leicester 09.07.2022).

Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Mid- to dark brownand translucent with a beige/khaki head and a fair bit of lacing. Chocolate malt, some hoppy spruce notes in the aroma. Bittersweet taste with chocolate and woody notes. Bitterness in the aftertaste with notes of red berry. Soft carbonation, light to medium body. Don't yhink my description does it justice. This is a really good mild.
