AllGates WMD

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special - March 2010.
WMD is atypical of a strong Black Country style Mild. It is stronger than most modern Milds weighing in at 5.7%. It is intensely dark, almost black in colour, with a lovely red tinge. It has a coffee coloured head, bubbly to begin with, but settles down quickly to form a thickish covering. The aromas are predominantly malty, but with a pleasant fruit smell ~ almost wine-like and seems to smell of grapes, plums and raisins. The texture is rich and full bodied for a Mild. It feels smooth in the mouth and has a silky texture.
The main flavours are rich fruit, malt and hops - it tastes strong and it is! The initial fruitiness mingles with a caramel/toffee flavour, with elements of nuttiness from the roasted malt. To start it seems very sweet, but this is replaced by an increasing bitter dryness that comes through in the finish. The aftertaste is lingering and has a pleasant fruit aspect.
