Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma of coffee, dark fruits, ash, and malts. The roasted malts come through with the berries and hints of plums and toffee. Good body, low carbonation. Enjoyed it.

18/9/2021. Bottle shared with J&K. From Hopsters, Ipswich. Pours black with a small beige head. Aroma of chocolate, dark fruits, coffee, caramel, berries, touch of liquorice. Moderate sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Medium body, quite fizzy, typical of many a bottled mild, but otherwise very nice.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - thanks a lot for another Mild, Graham!]. Quasi black colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, beige to tan head. Earthy, leafy, fruity hoppy and minimally chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of dark berries, plum, bramble, blackcurrant, black cherry whiffs of dark chocolate and milk chocolate, liquorice, liquorice root. Taste is initially earthy, leafy, fruity hoppy, notes of bramble, blueberry, blackcurrant, plum, black cherry, minimally tart-ish and grassy, later more roasty and chocolately, dark malty, notes of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, subtle sweetness, whiffs of liquorice, liquorice root. Watery texture, minimally dry, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft, not really prickly but efficacious carbonation. A very nice Mild again, quite rich and manifold on both, the malty and the hoppy side, almost an Imperial Mild or a semi-imperial Mild at least. Probably the best low alcohol style that works perfectly without adjuncts. And this is a very good representative of the style.
