On tap at Naka-Meguro Taproom 2014. Toasted caramel, malt and chocolate on the nose. Bready and bisucuit overtones on the palate with a hint of fruit detectable as it comes to room temperature. Sweet but refreshing. Nice smooth finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Workingmans Dark Mild on 10 Feb 2016 at 09:41

Thanks to daijokey for sharing - medium brown/amber pour, with a small ring of foam - rich aroma of cocoa and hazelnuts - soft mouthfeel - roasted nuts and dry cocoa, with a hint of bitterness to compliment the chocolate flavor - a touch vegetal in the finish - this is a really nice mild.

Thanks to daijokey for bringing this to JoeMcphee’s place for CaptainCougar come to NY gathering. This was one of many japanese beers that I was really happy to try. Thanks Wayne in particularly for this brew because it was my favorite. Imagine one needs to go to Japan to find a good mild. Color is brown, cannot see through it but still a lot of light edges. In general the beer is so light and easy drinking but yet full of plenty roast and chocolate flavors. Also, it never feels watery or cheap. I could probably drink this for hours.

Cloudy dark brown color. Light brown head. Malty, hints of toffee and espresso, but not too well balanced. Slightly sour chocolatey mouth. Dry malty finish. Update - this year’s is much better than last years. Very quaffable and balanced. Excellent session beer (this years is also only 3%). Rating is blend of two.
