500ml bottle from Sainsburys, Tottenham Court Road. Very good looking with its dense, off-white head resting on a shining brown coloured body. Nice laceworks on the glass. Roasted malt to the nose added by flashes of dark fruits. Fruit-malty flavour throughout with hints of cinnamon, closing with a moderate touch of bitter dark malts. An easy going drink, but still acceptable (Tromsø, 06.06.2008).

[Cask at Eldon Arms, Reading] I’ve heard that this Waddy’s - tied pub sells more Mild than any other pub in the country. I don’t know how true this is (given the small size of the pub I somehow doubt it...) but having tasted the house mild it could well be true. I’ve never had another beer quite like this. Pours a very deep winey red (it stains everything it touches, so be careful!) with almost no head. Smells deep, rich and smokey. Tastes like - well, imagine you could barbecue Ribena. Smoke is dominant, with strong blackcurrant and a hint of sharp damson. There are deep oaky flavours in there too, with -surprisingly - a bit of spice, like a good aged Rioja wine. some black coffee does come through in the aftertaste, although I didn’t find this as strong as others on this database. Leaves a dry, smokey, oaky, sexy mouthful that leaves you begging for more. My friends tasted some, and expressed some surprise that I would drink such a strong beer during a long session - they were absolutely astonished to be told it was only 3.3%. The depth of flavour is such that I think they’re right - you couldn’t physically drink too many of these. But that is the great thing about it - I’d had a Rochefort 10 a couple of nights before, and I honestly believe that this mild could give it a run for its money. A great beer to prove to the Belgian afficionados that strength isn’t actually what gives a beer flavour, I think that this is second only in milds to Brewdog Edge - and I’d be interested to have an opportunity to taste test them against each other.

Can from LCBO. A lightly hazed reddish copper ale with a thin lacing light moka head. Aroma of caramel, hops and madera. In mouth, a sweetish caramel malt with wooden notes, nutty, light coffee, a bit of astringence and signs of oxydation. Medium bodied.

[cask at Back of Beyond, Reading] Light and refreshing, some "green"/ unripe flavour. It made me think of daffodils! It’s a good session beer; the flavour is very reminiscent of Springhead Liberty (which I drank in the same session) but whereas Liberty would be right for a long summer afternoon this makes me want to drink it on sunny spring days!

[On draught at Sweeney & Todd’s, Reading] This was ubiquitous in Wiltshire when I was growing up, and at the time I didn’t like it. I’ve avoided it for years, and was going to avoid it tonight as well. However, my first choice (Adnams The Bitter) turned out to have gone off, and so I thought I’d give the 6X another chance. And Wadworth’s rewarded me well - It’s sweet, malty, smooth, treacle, some raisin flavour, a hint of smoke; all in all, a beautiful pint. I can’t believe I avoided it all those years! [Re-rate, 31/1/2009 at Wadworth’s brewery] My previous notes stand, with added straw flavour. One of my favourite British bitters, very enjoyable indeed.

Poured dark amber / brown with very slight white head. Aroma was mainly malt / caramel with a hint of fruit (raisins). Full bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was sweet malt / caramel with very modest bitterness in the finish. This finish, when cold had some dark / burnt malt notes, but on warming there was a slight metallic taste. I also detected something fruity / candy (toffee apple like). Overall a very good beer.
