| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 20, 2004 Hand pulled at the Anchor, Birmingham. Beautiful lustrous black colour, with a large, fluffy head which looks very inviting. Rich, oily mouthfeel, with an ice cream sweetness. Oaty flavour, berry hints and some warming spice. Delicious and full bodied. Very good stuff, definitely at the strong end of the Mild scale. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 14, 2007 Cask, GBBF. Shiny brown, cream cap of foam. Chocolate, green grass aroma, a bit of mineral character that borders on sulfur, but is actually depth enhancing here. Spicy rich chocolate blended with a bit of rustic bread and gentle bitterness. Subtle and very fine. HogTownHarry (4037), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 22, 2009 Cask. At The Wenlock Arms. Near opaque reddish-black pour, with an average lasting tan head - looks just like it should. Deep, deep roast aroma - strong coffee, dark chocolate, some anise and herbal bitterness, smelled a tad acidic. The taste followed - strong roast, no alcohol, acidic but not sour, definitely plenty of bittering hops in this one, and most important, no cola/rootbeer character: terrific mild flavour. Wonderfully thick-bodied, creamy and intensely flavourful deep roast palate presence - 4+. A lovely, wonderful, must-have-more mild! Ethereal (1707), London, Greater London, England
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 3, 2009 Cask at Battersea Beer Festival, 13th Feb 2009. Very dark brown, little bit of foamy head. Lovely and smooth, full without being heavy. Delicate coffee flavours and aromas. Good balance. Could do with more pronounced flavours but overall a very good mild in the classic mold.

Quite strong for a mild. Full bodied with strong burnt, coffee notes. Noticeably bitter finish. Another really good example of this style of beer. oh6gdx (9155), Vasa, Finland

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 16, 2007 Really excellent mild one of the best iv ever tried. Both aroma and taste are dominated by coffee and roasted barley, but really balanced and full bodied for the strength.
