Martin the Mildman		07 May 2012	Still using the old pumpclips here with no mention of mild, but mild it most certainly is and in good form here. Little hop character and a sweetish biscuity malt character. Lingering malty finish. My score 16/20.
Martin the Mildman		09 May 2011	Amber mild, mainly biscuity malt and a little appley fruitiness. Served too cold here so score 15/20 with B for quality.
Martin the Mildman		03 May 2010	Dominated by caramelly biscuity malt leading to a dryish finish. My score 15/20.

ChrisE		03 Jun 2010	The very end of the cask, but in superb condition. We would have had more if there had been any available.
ChrisE		24 Mar 2010	A good session beer, which seems to be going back to its proper name of Mild in current publicity from the brewery. A refreshing pint that I would have preferred without a very tight sparkler.

Ian		12 Jul 2009	Served through a tight sparkler so I only got about 3/4 of a pint. Burnt toast malts. Faint hop. Drinkable and interesting and glad to have it again.

Stephen		05 Jun 2010	The sparkler was an issue but they were happy to top it up like a pint of Guinness but well balanced good malts helped my dinner down very nicely thank you. A very good session ale.
