| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 25, 2009 (Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 16 Apr 2009) Dark brown colour with brief, off-white head. Malty, roasted nose with dark fruit and caramel. Malty, taste with notes of dark fruit, wort bread and caramel. Not very exciting, but a decent and well made mild. imdownthepub (5164), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 31, 2008 Cask conditioned at The Cheshire Lines, Southport. Dark brown with white head. If you want to taste how good this can be try it at this pub, top notch condition. Good full flavours, ok there is caramel, but this is a good old fashioned mild and a joy. Get to try it in a pub that loves it, you won’t regret it. wheresthepath (549), Buckinghamshire, England
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | May 16, 2008 [Unicorn Inn, Dolgellau] Deep reddish brown - seems pale compared to the brown-black of your usual mild. Not much flavour to be had here - a fleeting glimpse of chcolate and that was about it. Very smooth and easy to drink, but not a beer I’ll be coming back to.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 1, 2007 Clear dark reddish ale wearing a gentle off-white head. Minimal roastiness in the form of chocolate powder is taken aback by the rather fruity, cherry-like overtones. Neglectable hops, rather sweet, berry-tea reminiscent palate with a very light body and a short finish that speaks only the toffee language. harrisoni (6829), Ashford, Kent, England
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 8, 2007 Cask handpull at Cherry Pickers, Folkestone. Deep ruby colour with lasting beige head. I haven’t had this in years! Some dark caramel on nose. bit thin of flavour in mouth, some dark toffee, some choc. Finish has no pronounced hop, some dryness. Traditional mild, not huge on flavour, but in good condition which shows that they must get through the milds here. Could do with more flavour and body, but it’s fine for what it is.
