imdownthepub (3995), Banbury, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England Apr 23, 2006 Cask Conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival 06. Very dark brown with a creamy beige head. This is as good as mild gets, strikingly strong in flavours, rich plummy fruitiness intermingled with chocolate malts and coffee notes. Hugely complex on the tongue and a long sweetness on the close. Matched the Sarah Hughes Mild and was one of the first to go at the Festival. A great Mild.

Sweet aroma with roasted malt, coffee, bitter chocolate and wood. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, coffee, liquerice, dark chocolate and mild smoke.
