Draft @ Zeke’s, Miami Beach. Med brown colour. Low head. Has a thin, metallic aroma w light briwn sugar notes. Light palate with some nutty brown ale stuff, a hint of chicolate and that’s about. One of tge best pints of mild I ever had was a Cain’s in Liverpool. Well, keg in Miami is a long way from cask in Liverpool, in every way you can think of.

Whole Foods P st, DC six-pack ($12): Pours a really dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is pretty light and malty with a tad of ash. Roasted malts are more apparent in the taste. The taste is, however, still on the thin side (certainly a side-product of the low alcohol content). Very chuggable. Hops are very minimal, but there is a subdued bitterness in there that does actually linger to the aftertaste. Pretty good, and an interesting style to have occasionally.

440 ml can purchased at Rimann Liquors in Prairie Village, Kansas. The pour is a slightly hazed copper, with brown and golden, along with a well formed 1 1/2 inch off white head. This beer fills my Samuel Smith nonic pint glass perfectly. The aroma is gentle caramel malt sweetness, toasty malt and a nice earthy mineral. The taste is quite soft, cracker and caramel malt, followed by floral bitterness that bites nicely through the introductory sweetness. There is an interesting milky fruitiness to the finish which is (far) more pleasant than it sounds. The palate is medium bodied, very creamy mouth feel, low soft carbonation and the dry, slightly mineral bitter finish. Nothing about this beer really wowed me, but in total, I really enjoyed it. Nice beer to have around the house.

This beer pours dark from a can with a pleasant aroma. One of the better smelling beers which are not fruit beer. Creamy anulus. Nice and mellow with soothing fine co2, not a whole lot, just enough to let you know its there. Yes, simply a riendly beer, glad to try this. I liked the other Cain I had too, it was just as mild. This what I think when I think beer, just simply good mild stuff. Does have a slight alky feel to it on the finish. Does get a little flat near the end of the can.

Draft/Nitro at Redlight Redlight: Poured a dark chocolate with a tan creamy head. Aroma is bland with some malt. Taste is plain and ashy with some roasted malt, very smooth and drinkable.

Now when I first started drinken beer, this is what I thought of when the words dark beer were mentioned. Mild low alky dark stouty or schwartz or dark american lagger or mild porter. Probably this beer could be called any of those styles. At first I did not notice any co2 but as the session continues there is this mildly building creamy carbonation that is hiding around the corner. From a 15 oz can. Does not have a widget in there. The carbonation in there makes it much better than those nitro beers where the sizzle is non-exixtent. Friendly and good beer drinken experience, could drink a six pack of these at 3%, heheh. Mild beers, what beer really should be.

on nitro-pours a cascading tight tan head with dark brown color. Aroma is roasty-medium/dark malt-some ashy, earthy. Taste is roasty-medium/dark malt-some ashy, earthy hops. Soft carbonation.
