On cask at the Hilden Beer Festival, 2012.

Ruby-tinged black with creamy tan film that sheets. Roasty charcoal and brown sugar nose.
Coffee, red berry, chocolate milk then branch hops.
Oily espresso finish and roasty sweet linger. Light, slight cling, oily.

The story with this is Ossett owns an estate of pubs, and a few of them have brew kits. Each gets a different name, but they're all owned by Ossett with the same head brewer. So "Rat" is a brewery (at Rat and Ratchet in Huddersfield) but it's not, really.

This is in as Dark Mild only because the brewer calls it that - to me this is the ideal session stout. A bit ashy, but packed with flavour and at a hugely moreish strength. Impressed by Ossett today.
