Pours muddy brown, minimal head. Weak biscuit on the nose. Flavour is more weak biscuit, slight smokiness, chewy molasses. Modest carbonation. Pretty subdued, hardly memorable.

355ml can. Pours a clear red-brown with a small, foamy, long lasting, beige head that laces. Mild aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, nuts and earth. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, caramel, nuts and earth with a dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Too hoppy to be a Mild Ale, it's more of a Brown Ale. Regardless of style, there's nothing to see here. Next!

341mL bottle, pours dark brown with a reddish tinge and a beige head. Aroma of light malts, some dark fruits and light cocoa - very weak. Flavour is quite muted, light roasted malt and subtle dark fruits. Lacks depth and robustness. Pretty weak.

Reddish brown ale with a thick dissipating off white head. Light caramel malt aroma, with a bit of butterscotch. In mouth, smoked malt predomines, with some sour notes, very light and mild, with nutty notes, rather unchallenging. Merci, JM.

Dark nutty brown. Aroma is very toasty from both the malts and that "organic hop" note that I also find quite toasty. Along with this are undercurrents of chocolate and nuts. Nice lasting thin head. Body is thin. The flavour sticks close to that heavyhanded toastiness with nuts, cocoa and a bit of earthiness. The finish is dry, and it’s a fair bit hoppier than I’d expect in a beer of this type. They add gypsum, which brings out that "pale ale"-ish bitterness. Has some good elements but leaves me wanting for some residual sugars to balance it out.
