We dislike the term ‘mild’ so call this a small beer. It’s made from the 2nd runnings of the brew when we make Sadako. Although low ABV, it is hoppy and amazingly satisfying because of additions of Lactose. Dark and roasted malt bitterness is matched with hoppier bitter notes and then smoothed over with (lactose) creaminess.

07/09/2018 on the train home, 33 cl bottle from Malt Attacks. Dark brown, small head. At first nothing much in the nose and taste, thin dark malts, watery, me thinking "whatever, it's a second running, could've expected it, OK, I gave it a chance". Later the aroma develops to chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, fruity hops. Taste develops to dark malts, bit coffee, milk chocolate, nice fruity hops giving it a black IPA feel. This is truly amazing for this ABV. Considering it as a beer, you could still say it has a watery feel, but it's getting better and better while drinking it. As it still tastes that nice after a few other nice beers and considering it as a low alcohol beer, I would give it all he points I could but I guess I'll wait for a beer of this style at an even lower alcohol level for that. Anyway, brilliant stuff! More of that.

Tap at the weird beard tap takeover at six degrees north. Nose is chocolate, toffee, toast. Palate is bitter chocolate, coffee, citrus finish. Amazing for 2.5%. But only ok for a normal stout.

Bottle sample @ LIBF’17, thanks to the RB-InBev Belgian crew for the share. Cuivre, col beige. Arôme offre un bouquet étonnant d e grillé, biscuité goodness avec un léger rétro houblonné type c-hops. Presque sur un effet low black ipa Palais est malté, bien grillé, pas de touches de torréfié, biscuité avec une amertume plaisante virant un peu sur les agrumes.
