An interesting beer for me this one. There seems to be a real misty eyed nostalgia among gentlemen of a certain age - including me - for these darker old mild styles.
This one has gone down really well and it surprised me a bit, it's almost the opposite of the beers that are so popular at the moment - blondes and hoppy/hazy pales - but I'm super pleased with it. It is fined and I really don't like finings but I do feel that some beers need to present in a certain way and this one demands a polished shine.
