Hogan Sampling		26 Sep 2026	4th beer of this festival visit: Presented with very good head and lasting lacing on this dark mild from brewing set up in 1982 in the rear of the old Fox & Goose pub at 24 Bridge Street, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire. A dry bitter first bite from its UK-grown hops. A malty fruitiness rising from its traditional roasted malts exuding sweet biscuity flavours from its Maris Otter Pale Malt. Its Crystal Malt lending a bit of a sweet, sticky caramel and toffee note and its Chocolate Malt and Roasted Barley giving the beer its mahogany complexion and a hint of dark chocolate and coffee flavouring. A slightly sweetened cherry or two in on the act. A dark hedgerow berry fruity bitterness prevailing aided by its Fuggles behind an earthy and slightly woodsy character, Goldings or East Kent Goldings lending a touch of spice and sweet floral fruitiness, and Challenger or Bramling Cross lending a well-behaved bitterness alongside a hint of dark, jammy fruitiness. A dry bitter wave on the sailing out. Served in very good condition.
