Bottle delivered from Beautiful Beers and drunk at home.dark brown and opaque with a small ring of off-white head. Sour aroma, some soy, some spiced chocolate. Intense sour taste dominated over the natural sweetness of the mild. Long sour finish. Thick flat body. I probably should like this more than I do, but a sour mild just doesn't really do it for me.

330ml bottle delivered from Beautiful Beers and drunk at home. Dark brown and slightly translucent with a ring of khaki/tan head. Scent of hot chocolate, Robusta coffee, French vanilla. Sweet taste with cocoa and coffee beans, plus a little bit of plumand a touch of smoke. Light footprints of bitterness dance quietly on my tongue nearer to the finish. Milk chocolate dominates the aftertaste.Fairly robust body for ABV low carbonation. Very, very nice mild.
