Monday 5th August 2024, the last Minutemat led Shrewsbury Beer Gathering, five guys, loads of beer and bollox. Cheers Mike for the Out Of Date 33cl bottle of this. Moody brown body, wispy top. Strange Pumpkin spicy nose and taste, didn't take to it at all.

18/5/2024. Bottle at Landshut GP beer share. From Beautiful Beers, Bury St Edmunds. Pours black with a frothy/creamy beige head. Great pour. Aroma is dark malts, chocolate, roasted, nutty, dark fruits. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Smooth and not over carbonated like many bottled milds are. This is a very good mild.

330ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - many thanks for another Mild!]. Opaque, darkest brown colour with average to huge, thick, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, dark beige to tan head. Sweet-ish and toasty, chocolately, slightly nutty, dark malty aroma, notes of chocolate, cocoa, hints of roasted nuts, praline, treacle ovetones, whiffs of coconut, white coffee. Taste is sweet-ish, toasty, chocolately, slightly nutty and minimally spicy, dark malty, mildly bitter hoppy, notes of chocolate, praline, roasted nuts, Brazil nut, a touch of toasted coconut, treacle, minimally fruity overtones with a touch of plum. Slightly creamy texture, smooth and soft, somehow minimally crumbly palate, Wonderful composition, immensely rich and quite complex for its low abv, super tasty - formidable.

330ml bottle from Beautiful Beers. Gluten Free. Hazy pale golden colour, big foamy white head leaving some lacing and aroma of grain, citrus. Taste is pale malt, grainy, bready, with straw, citrusy notes, and tangy bitterness. Medium bodied, light foamy carbonation, drying bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Soft malts, a little creamy sweetness. Fairly big caramel here and a touch of unsweet toffee. Marmalade and pine, overripe orange on the back end. Pretty much everything that drives me nuts about West Coast IPAs, and yet I can't quite hate this one. Maybe the Voss yeast rounds it out a bit.

Bottle ordered from Beautiful Beers, Bury St Edmunds. Aroma has dark rich chocolate with coffee and sharp coffee berries. Dark and glossy. Foamy beige head. Medium bitter. Coffee. Dark chocolate. Underlying nuts. Develops a tangy sour berry streak. Medium bodied. Creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. A big Mild. Certainly verging on a Stout.

Bottle ordered from Beautiful Beers, Bury St Edmunds. Aroma is earthy, grainy... followed by sweet fruit. Murky opaque toffee brown. Thick foamy off-white head. Sweet caramel with a fruit touch. Followed by bitter grains and dark berries. The sweetness reasserts itself into the finish. Medium-heavy bodied. Oily. Flat-average carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Chewy ESB.

Cacao and coffee, followed by a boozy dark berry sour streak. Underlying sweet fruit and rich malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on oily. Average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Rich snd fruity. Kinda makes me think of a Baltic Porter.
