22nd May 2010. ChrisOs ’Blue Ridge Mountains Of Virginia’ tasting! Clear dark brown beer. Light palate - a touch watery. Tangy dark malt and a whisper of smokiness. Finishes light and crisp. Comes over as a very light porter. Not bad.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet maty with notes of caramel combined with a light spicy note. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of roasted malt, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin. Thanks fonefan and Brugmansia for sharing.

Bottle, 3.4%. Weak roasted and creamy aroma. Almost black colour. Good roasted flavour, creamy and slightly cardboardy. Thin mouthfeel, but OK considering ABV.

[i] [b] Bottle, dropped off very kindly by Marc Bartram, Bartrams Brewey with casks for the Beer Festival [/i] [/b] Poured dark brown with light beige head, aroma is very light but there are some sweet malts just detectable. This is a simple typical British Mild, but one that’s done well, ok so it doesn’t have the oomph of say a Beijing Black and it isn’t quite up there with my current favourite Welland Valley Mild, but it’s nice and I would happily have a pint or two of this. There is a nice swishy funky fruity sourness creeping through, it is a bit thin maybe but hey it’s a Mild and a rather nice one at that.
