Comments: Very competent, balanced, fruity mild with a firm medium body. Remarkably good condition.

Pours clear dark brown beer. Frothy head. Nose of malt and sugar. Taste of malt, coffee and smokiness. Body is thin and taste finishes with a short hoppy flourish. Reminds me of a porter. A nice beer.

Cask at troon beer fest 07. Aroma is roasted malts, a decent amount of chocolate and liquice hints. Taste is similar, very full body infact one of the fullest bodyed beers below 8% iv ever had. Cant believe its 3.7% packed with flavour.

Cask (Peterborough BF 2007)
Rich deep brown, no head. Coffee aroma. Very pleasant rich malty taste, lightly hoppy. Malty finish - burnt and coffee-ey.

Cask. At The Wenlock Arms, London. This looks like a mighty fine stout - opaque black, decent creamy off-white head. Lovely dry roast aroma, sweet grain, roast coffee beans, light background hop bittering notes. The taste - oh, what a lovely mild - like an airy porter or stout, very light on the tongue - bitter when in the mouth, but no bitter aftertaste - very well balanced, plenty of malt character, but not syrupy or cloying. Dry, light and chocolate was my lingering impression. Damned good.

Deep amber with a thin off white head. Malt, toffee and barley nose. Watery coffee grounds and malt taste. Thin taste and on the palate.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 8 Aug 2007) Dark brown colour with brief pale brown head. Malty nose with roasted notes of coffee, chikory and dark fruit. Roasted taste with wild berries, coffee and a nice coffeeish bitterness in the finish. Thin body, but with more bitterness than most milds. Very tasty mild, one of the better I’ve tried.
