To get you all in the mood for Mild Month, here's another old Tetley recipe. Though it bears little resemblance to modern Mild.

The strongest of Tetley’s many Mild Ales during the Edwardian period was XX. By 1904 a Mild of this strength - 7.5% ABV – was very much the exception.

I’m not sure where exactly XX was sold, but I’m guessing in pubs. As it’s a draught rather than a bottled beer. Though there’s no way you’d manage an 8-pint session on this beast. It’s just too strong.

Unlike some of its weaker brothers, XX didn’t come in a pale version, just a dark one. With the colour coming from a combination of No. 3 invert sugar and caramel. Which is pretty typical for Dark Mild. The only malts are the base malt: pale and mild. There’s no coloured malt of any description.

The hops were Worcester from the 1903 harvest (kept in a cold store) and Kent, also from 1903, but not kept in a cold store. Fuggles for both seems a reasonable guess.
