Aaanyhoo, later in 2024 they re-brewed the mild and called it Emma’s Winter Mild. So we felt it was time to brew it at ours and named it Henok’s Mild. The first batch we brewed was cask only, and a handful of kegs that made their way over to Stockholm.
This mild is pretty dark, super comforting, very moreish and is now available right in time for the change of seasons.

Can at home picked up from HOTM. A clear mahogany brown coloured pour with a lasting fine magnolia head. Aroma is creamy nuts, hazzelnut, lactose, dried fruits, raisin, vanilla, brown sugars, Flavour is composed of semi sweet, burnt sugars, butterscotch, mayard sugars, bitter burnt sugars, bread and butter pudding. Palate is semi sweet, creamy rounded, moderate carbonation. Pretty tasty, but tastes like it has some adjunct.

440ml can. Pours a very dark brown almost black, with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, biscuit, and roast malts. Taste is quite rich for the strength, lots of chocolate, very biscuity, some roast too, a little caramel, somewhat sweet and creamy but with a mild coffee bitterness. Medium bodied. A wonderful Mild, easily among the best I've had of the style.

Cast at The Pocket, Canonbury. 25/10/2025. Pours deepest brown with beige foam. Rich with dark choc, coffee, nutty. Delicious, although closer to milk stout territory for me.

Cask at the Blue Blazer. Pours dark brown with a thin beige head. Aromas of chocolate and blackcurrant. Taste adds some nuttiness. Quite a dry finish. Nice.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Dark brown body with a thin beige head that holds well. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of blackcurrant and roasted malt. Flavour of blueberry and woody malt. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A subtle and well balanced beer.

Deep brown with a semi-fizzy tan head. Chocolate, lightly roasted malts, toasted malt, nutty. Body is a touch thin. Finish has a slight sourness. Very nice.

(Draft at Omnipollos Hatt, Stockholm, 26 June 2025) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, coffee, prunes and raisins. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, dark chocolate, raisins, prunes, dark bread and a mild herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced strongish mild. Very nice.
