McMullen AK
Nutty and dark-chocolate on the nose, then caramel with a subtle sweetness: a dark amber 3.7% cask Mild that six generations of McMullens have brewed in Hertford without a break for over 185 years. Pale, crystal and chocolate malts form the base, a single Kentish hop, Whitbread Goldings, adds bitterness and a light aroma. Bitterness and sweetness both sit at 2 on a scale of 5.
