Dark Mild
A mahogany-coloured mild at 3.0%, a style that made up three quarters of Harvey's output in the decade after the Second World War. Malt drives the beer: burnt caramel and nuts on the nose, a soft, slightly sweet palate with a touch of chocolate, and a dry aftertaste that recalls ground nuts. The body stays light.
