4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bathams Mild is another one of my favourites. The Plough at Shenstone is the best place to get a fabulous pint of mild. Although not as strong as the bitter the mild is still a fantastic drink.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 2007. Ruby colour with bubbly beige head. Odd smokey aroma. Some yeast. Has some very light caramel malt. It is extremely mild, but not poor because of that. Good example of the style. Malts are decent.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
[Cask at GBBF 2005] A brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet - but it also has the sulphury edge, that some Milds have - and that I don’t like. The flavor is a sulphury Mild flavor combined with a slightly roasted dry bitter end. Mild is not a favorite style of mine, but some I like - this is not one of them.
