Mild Dark Ale. Our New Zealand classic dark beer, light in mouth feel with big chocolate flavours from our unique addition of crushed black malt at the boil. Riwaka hops add aroma nad balance to these complex malt flavours.

Bottle courtesy of Marko and ogivlado in Zagreb-Croatia, many thanks guys. Pours black with reddish highlights, little off-white foam. Nose: dusty, English accent, a bit yeasty too, fresh paint. Mouth: far too watery, a smokey note, dry end with some burnt malt notes. Different Mild Ale.

Bottled 500ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with him and ippopotamo36. Dark brown coloured with a red glare, small off-white head, caramelish malty nose. Quite weak taste with almost lack of everything; some light malt, weak caramel and rather dry finish.

Enormous thanks to KreΕ‘o for lugging this in from New Zealand. Poured a darker brown/red body with good carbonation and a small thick off white head. Aroma... caramel, slightly fruity, malty. Taste... empty, dry caramelly taste, raisins, very light bitterness. Seems like very very hard water, the finish is insanely dry, the aftertaste awful. Eh.

Pours dark brown with a quickly fading head.Nose shows some chocolatey roasted malt with soft coffee in the background. Faint caramel also present.Very similar flavours with more roasted malt. Finishes weakly, could use some extra crystal or something.Carbonation could be higher, body seems a bit watery.

Bottled. A nut-brown beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt, and bread as well as a bit of a bit of spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, caramel, bread, and some chocolate, leading to a dry roasted finish.
