Timothy Taylor’s – Dark Mild

What they say: “A 3.5% dark ruby beer with roasted notes and a smooth, creamy taste. A favourite of lovers of a good mild. Especially popular in East Lancashire and loved as a guest further afield. One of the finest Dark Yorkshire Milds still in Independent production.”

It’s quality was obvious – I don’t think TT could brew a bad beer if they tried. It was the end of a long night so I picked the weakest. 3.5% A.B.V.
