A Gold medal winner in the international brewing industry awards 2000, and a three times bronze medal winner at the Great British Beer Festival in the Best Mild category, this is a smooth, full flavoured, truly dark mild with a rich creamy head.
It has a full body and distinctive roasted malt taste, balanced by its fresh hop character.
Complex flavours and aromas are achieved by blending deeply roasted malt and adding a selected blend of English hops

440ml can poured into an English Pint. Pours very dark with about a finger of nut brown head. Aroma is mostly chocolate with a dose of something a little sour, some coffee and some roasty nuts. Taste is light bitter. Baking chocolate, coffee and nuts. Almost reminds me of a porter. Light bodied with a thin texture. Flat carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. Not a style I’d really get into but I’ll enjoy this one.

Can. Roasty malt, chocolate, coffee and ashy aroma. Clear dark brown with a small creamy tan head, and decent lacing. Light roasted coffee and chocolate flavor with a bitter finish like charred toast. Thin watery body.

Can (via a trade with bu11zeye). Pours with a clear deep, brown hued body with ruby highlights and a tan head that fades (completely after a while). Aromas are very mild, roasty, a hint of sulfur, bready, watery, toasty, leather, a touch sour (a bit like the sour mash component most notable in Guinness), brown sugar, and restrained fruit esters. Flavors are medium nutty, malty, earthy, high carbonate water, leather, mild salinity, some roast, biscuit, soil, tobacco and ash. Restrained esters. Typical low carbonation with a medium to light body and a somewhat dry, roasted finish. Seems like a decent, albeit generic mild.

Draft @ Zeke’s, Miami Beach. Med brown colour. Low head. Has a thin, metallic aroma w light briwn sugar notes. Light palate with some nutty brown ale stuff, a hint of chicolate and that’s about. One of tge best pints of mild I ever had was a Cain’s in Liverpool. Well, keg in Miami is a long way from cask in Liverpool, in every way you can think of.

Whole Foods P st, DC six-pack ($12): Pours a really dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is pretty light and malty with a tad of ash. Roasted malts are more apparent in the taste. The taste is, however, still on the thin side (certainly a side-product of the low alcohol content). Very chuggable. Hops are very minimal, but there is a subdued bitterness in there that does actually linger to the aftertaste. Pretty good, and an interesting style to have occasionally.

Now when I first started drinken beer, this is what I thought of when the words dark beer were mentioned. Mild low alky dark stouty or schwartz or dark american lagger or mild porter. Probably this beer could be called any of those styles. At first I did not notice any co2 but as the session continues there is this mildly building creamy carbonation that is hiding around the corner. From a 15 oz can. Does not have a widget in there. The carbonation in there makes it much better than those nitro beers where the sizzle is non-exixtent. Friendly and good beer drinken experience, could drink a six pack of these at 3%, heheh. Mild beers, what beer really should be.

Can from ericandersnavy! Pours very dark brown/black with a slight tan head. Light chocolate aroma. Near med body. Flavor is light burnt malt with a touch of chocolate. Quite dry. I guessing floral hop, but it’s hard for me to pin down the hop. However, it does develop a decent level of bitter with time.
