Oakleaf Maypole Mild

Dark brown with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of fruit and chocolate with a touch of coffee. Sweetish malty flavour with a nice roasted character.

Cask, from the Central Southern Bar at GBBF 09. Jet black body carrying a few floaters on the surface. Mild roasted malty aroma. Vaguely taste of roasted, dark malts. Semi-sweet impression. Not bad for a British mild (Earls Court, London 05.08.2009).

Cask handpump at GBBF ’09. Many thanks to cgarvieuk for this one. Brown. Wheaty aroma. Slightly sour ashy taste. Some dryness. Not the best mild of the day, but there were some crackers on show.
