Oct 5, 2009 Bottle from random shop just off hoxton square. Had at home. Aroma is sweet roasted malt, cherry and other berry fruity, the cane sugar sweetness is clear, peppery alohol is showing, marzipan adds a kind of fake aging type thing. Taste is fairly big and sweet and roasty, the fruityness is key but i dont really like this beverage. It feels unclean and not quite right.

Apr 9, 2005 A dark red-brown beer with a fine light brown head. The aroma is roasted with notes of coffee. The flavor is very powerful of coffee, but also of chocolate - great flavor. If this is how Mild’s were in the old days, I want them back to the roots.

Jan 9, 2005 Crème-coloured, thin head; opaque brown ale with orangey hints. Sweet, dark malts, bit woody, winegrapes, tannins, whiff of tobacco. Severe woody, nearly tart taste with a sweet malty undercurrent. Tannins abund. Bitter chocolate, whiff of fruity sour. Not quite in balance. Well bodied, some alcohol warming. Especially in comparison to the standard, the Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild, I cannot find this very "mild" at all. Rather harsh, but not uninteresting.

Mar 20, 2004 Wow. A 6.5% mild! And, as Silk Tork says, get those volatile alcoholic fumes. A bit resinous too. Interesting, but I can't say I found it too appealing. Lots of flavour packed in here - roast malt, chocolate, coffee, a hint of sour bitterness. Overall, though, I found the sweetness too insistent for my taste and the whole effect a bit syrupy. An extraordinary beer, but I'm not sure I really like it. Cask (gravity), London Drinker beer festival.
