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.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks beerandbeyond. Brown-colored with a huge frothy beige head. Aroma of malt, some earthy hops, some wood and fruity notes. Flavor starts sweet with malt and caramel, later turns drier, woody and a bit spicy, and finishes bitter with woody notes, earthy hops and a bit of roastiness. Medium-bodied. Over-carbonated. Decent, but the carbonation is way too strong and it masks a lot of the flavor.

Bottle thanks to Bgthang. This is from the recalled overcarbed batch. No gush on opening but pours a very lively brown with a medium tan head that needs a few minutes to calm down. Aroma is toast, thin vinous notes of oak and red fruits. Flavor is big toasted malts, thin peat and smoke with leather and tobacco in the finish. Nice complexity for its strength.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with overflowing tan head. Nose/taste of caramel, fig and dry barley. Some off infection notes. Medium body. Would like to try another bottle to see if this was just an off one as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the other beers I’ve had from them.

Capped 750 received gratefully from ericandersnavy. Pours black with a creamy/fizzy 4 finger beige head. Aroma through all the foam is chocolate. Pretty full bodied. Pretty strong carbonation. So it starts with chocolate, then pulls a dead ringer for an English mild, then goes all astringent oaky. Mouth smacking.

Bottle. Vary disappointing. Aggressive hiss upon opening. Tough to pour. High carbonation, murky brown body, foamy/rocky tan head that fades. Aromas of apple, earthy, chocolate, roast, waxy, tobacco, crayola, nut, earthy, soil and plastic. Flavors are roasty, nutty, earthy, chocolate. Lots of tobacco and damp leaves. Undrinkable as it warms. Violent carbonation, carbonic bite, thin otherwise. Tons of chlorophenol as it warms. Way out of line with their other offerings (seems like a mistake). I hope to re-rate this beer upon a better sample. I have absolutely loved the other two offerings that I have tried.

On tap at flying saucer Houston. Pours a clear dark brown with an earthy brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of dark grains and bread with a hint of coffee. Flavor is full of dark grains with notes of bread, coffee and roasted malts. Easy to drink but monotonous.

On tap at Flying Saucer. Pours a dark brown with a small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a roasted malt and raisin. Thin mouthfeel with a light roast and caramel. Easy to drink a good mild ale from Jester King.
