Commercial Description:
Pasteurised bottle. Also available on keg as Old Smoothie Mild.
NOTE: Ratings for the cask version should not be posted here; it has a separate listing.
A traditional dark mild at 3.6% abv. It has many CAMRA awards to its name and is a well known brand in the free trade. The beer is well balanced with a full roast flavour. The use of Crystal malt and Roast Barley give a deep underlying characteristic flavour, which is balanced with Fuggles hops as the sole variety.

Bottle@Proeflokaal. Malty and light roasted aroma. Very dark brown color, beige head, good lace. Light malty, light roasted, hints of laurel and burnt twigs. Bit watery but what do you expect with only 3.6% ABV.

Bottled (BB 07/2009)
Very dark ruby color, good tan head. Coffee, prune and caramel in the nose. Light palate, but not that light than expected from 3.6 % beer. Roasted flavor, slightly caramelly - very dunkel-like brew. Oily mouthfeel giving sort of low alcohol feeling.

Bottled. Deep dark brown color. Malt and a hint of laurel in the soft nose. Malty sweet flavor with licorice and apple syrup. Tasty, although watery mild. Likeable.
