Cask@Sarah Hughes beacon hotel, sedgley. Ruby brown with medium head. Aroma is not strong, maybe a touch of dark fruits. Taste is thick dark malts, dark fruits, sweet and chocolate. The palate is full bodied and smooth. This is the greatest mild I have drunk in 20 years of drinking. Excellent stuff in an excellent pub.

A superb mild served in the Broomfield Tavern in Coventry. Deep red with no head (probably due to it being served by gravity). Rich, sweet and delicious.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
07.02.2013 @ Salopian Bar, Shrewsbury. Everything about this was right, from the vinous aroma to the mild, chewy maltiness. Would have scored more if there had been some condition, though this of course could be down to the cellarman rather than the brewer.
4.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
My number 1 beer ever. Brewed on the premises in one of my favourite pubs ever - The Beacon Hotel in Sedgley, Wolverhampton, UK.
Rich and slightly sweet, but not in the leas bit cloying. This is a truly unique ale with hints of chocolate, coffee and berries. Absolutely divine and served in a handled pint in aforementioned pub.
Wonderful - and a must try.
