Clear golden dark amber with its spice just about right - flavoursome but not overdone. Dark ale character. At Lees flagship Manchester bar in Albert Square.

Cask at the Colmore, Birmingham showing as 'Dark Mild'. However it was more in red ale territory in appearance and taste. Very clean filtered taste with slight berry tang to it. It was ok.
