Theakston Dark Mild
Dark and dry, Dark Mild pairs roasted coffee and subtle liquorice on the nose with chocolate notes on a smooth palate and a full, rounded Fuggle hop flavour. Pale, crystal and black malt give it body, rich flavour and texture. At 3.4% it is gentle in strength and hop bitterness, and almost certainly one of the beers Robert Theakston brewed when he began in Masham in 1827.
