Mar 9, 2006 I used to drink this frequently and to be truthful I never noticed any discernible difference when it had a name change to hooky dark. This best mild was decent enough but overall I felt it to be thin and lacking in flavour, guess what the new one was pretty much the same, mmhh.. Hooky missed a trick there I think.

Mid to dark brown. Some fruitiness. Finishes smoothly on the palate.

Aug 3, 2004 Little aroma, little taste,a slight dark maltiness leads to a dry bitter sweet finish. I know it’s only 3% but why bother. Try brewing a mild at 5-6% and get the taste buds going. This is very mediocre and tasteless.

Apr 13, 2004 Similar to the bitter; a thin, subtle, gentlly flavoured brew which can have nice aniseed/liquorice and chocolate notes when served properly. Too often past it's best. Could do with a bit more oomph. (cask in Cap & Gown, Worcester)

Apr 12, 2004 Cask Conditioned, Hook Norton Brewery, Hook Norton, Oxon. A delicious dark mild, packed with flavour. I could drink this like lemonade.
