Well hello old friend, a nice dark mild to grace us during MARCH MILDNESS. We brewed this one with Maris Otter and a fun assortment of dark and roasted malts and hopped it with a bit of Fuggles and Polaris. It has notes of pumpernickel, dried fig, old library books, black currant jam, coffee over ice, and some homemade biscuits.

Pours deep mahogany into an English pint. Mocha head with good retention conglomerates and recedes leaving spot lacing. Sweet toffee, raisin and brown bread aromas. Soft with brown breed, pit fruit and molasses upfront turning to earth in the medium length finish.

Undated, fresh can, drunk 9/7/22. Dark amber-to-light-mahogany. Large, light-tan head shows moderate retention. Hugely malty nose shows plentiful base malt sweetness intermingling with the roast/toast character to give brown sugar, fig, light coffee and toasted baguette. Clean, low hop character, though still lightly herbal. Not as much minerality/yeast character as I'd like, but maybe that's obscured somewhat by the bigger maltiness. Soft, incredibly malty and intensely flavorful for its size. Rich chocolate, caramel, light coffee and hints of plum and raisin. Light bitterness on the end balances enough, but the beer remains very malt-forward. Kind of incredible how malty it is for its size. Would like more mineral/yeast character, but I'll live.

Can purchased from source: pours brown with big off white head. Toffee, nuts and caramel in aroma. Extremely refreshing. Lightly sweet. Bitter finish. I wish I had this on cask, but actually the carbonation adds a little to that dry nip at the end. Way better than expectation. I wish F&M stopped making IPAs and focused on this stuff, which they pull off masterfully.

Hand pump at Forest&Main. Huge beige head gives the first few sips a real cloudy, creamy feel. Excellent deep caramel, toffee, rich malts. Soft watery cask mouthfeel. Awesome stuff.
