Dark Mild Ale

We're excited to release our 2022 batch of Commerical Suicide English-Style Dark Mild. It was brewed to style with Golden Promise, Biscuit, Caramel, and Chocolate malts and East Kent Golding hops. We fermented in stainless steel with English yeast.

Commercial Suicide was actually the first Jester King beer ever released in 2010. We called it Commercial Suicide because the beer effectively had no audience. We considered it too dark for macro beer drinkers and too low alcohol for beer geeks. Thankfully, there's enough audience for Commerical Suicide to bring it back annually. We hope you enjoy the 2022 release.

From the November 2013 3R6P tasting. +++ Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color - almost black - with a huge fluffy tan head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was Dr Pepper, fig and cola. The flavor was dryish, nutty, malty and bitter with a touch of wood and a bit of toasty malts. Medium length, dry, bitter, malty and nutty finish. Medium body. Meh.

Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. The beer is a brownish-amber color with a medium light beige head and spotty lacing. The aroma consists of roasted malt and fruit. Light-bodied with flavors of sweet malt and touches of floral hops. The finish is sweet with a short malty aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a huge tan head - over carbonated. The aroma has notes of straw, brettanomyces, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, brettanomyces, wet hay, and caramel, leading to a dry hay finish. The body is light. Either off or a bad interpretation of a Mild.
