One of my favourite types of beer is a good old Southern Old Ale. Which is basically just a strong Mild.
The details might have changed a little, but Adnams still brew an Old Ale similar to this. Simply a beefed up version of their Mild. The grist is much the same a XX Mild. Just with a little more of everything.
Adnams have continued to brew a draught beer in this style right up until the present. The OG is a bit lower, but it’s definitely still along these lines.
Amber malt is slightly odd in this type of beer. Which might be why Adnams dropped it a couple of years later, replacing it with more crystal malt.
