English-Style Dark Mild on Nitro
Back in July, on a trip to England, Pete had a aha moment while drinking a Dark Mild from Left Handed Giant out of Bristol. It was the beer of the trip for him, and he knew that he had to figure out how to make it. So, let me introduce to you, the Ghostwriters Series! A new thing from us, where we take the exact recipe from another brewery, and make it on our system. About the beer…Brewed with all English malts (of course from @simpsonsmalt ) and a fruit forward English yeast strain, and served on nitro, it’s a lovely low strength beer! Super malty in flavor, with lovely little hits of milk chocolate, pecan, and black tea. For true Cask-like vibes, drink at 50f.

My first beer (on a flight of three) at OC Local Taproom on Saturday 18th April 2026. Soft beige crown on a mid brown body, it looked good. I liked the nutty chocolate and earthy flavours and it's general smoothness, a very nice Mild indeed.

Light amber brown with a creamy tan head. Very light but still flavorful. Toasted nuts, toasted malts, a hint of chocolate, faint roasted notes, a touch of fruity sweetness. Thin body. Solid.
