Cest What M.B.A. (Mild Brown Ale)

Formerly brewed at County Durham Brewing
Style: Mild Ale
Pickering, Canada

Draught at C’est What, shared with HogTownHarry. Pours a clear, very dark, ruby-brown with a creamy light-brown head. Aroma of chocolate, bacon bits and some mild hops. Yes, bacon bits. In a good way. Flavour of chocolate, some nuts, malt and a hoppy aftertaste. Pretty good for a Mild Ale but overall it’s just O.K.

Draught. At C’est What, shared with blankboy. Lord this is dark - looks a lot like their Chocolate Ale, deep clear almost opaque brown with a decent creamy tan head. Aroma of smoke, bacon, chocolate and bitter hops - taste is quite bitter, dark chocolate and bitter hops, starts somewhat sweet and lightly roasty, finishes quite bitter. This has a creamy nitro mouthfeel, astringent, flat and thick. Pretty nice, unexpectedly dark and roasty.

draught. finally got around to trying this last night. dark brown body. creamy head. subtle aroma, hard to really pickup any distinguishing characteristics. a decent mild session ale.

The best C’est What beer I’ve had outside Al’s Cask. Nice chocolaty aroma, deep red looking body. Body is typical county durham (the good stuff) - very silky on the tongue. Sweet taste, more chocolate. Something is just a little off in the aftertaste though - it lingered in a pretty unpleasant way. Overall, not too bad at all.

Pours with a pale tan head, a deep red colour. The nose is leathery. The flavour is very nutty with a mettalic/bitter finish. Nice soft mouthfeel.

A dark brown body with a medium sized light chestnut coloured head. A sweet roasted malt aroma is what I am getting here. Very nice. Taste is hints of espresso, some mild bitterness, and just a smidgen of wateryness. very easy to drink, and it has a lot of flavour for a very low alcohol beer.

Roasty, a mild version of the coffee porter. One of my mates politely didn’t like these color beers, but other found it was an easy drink. Nice foam on mid brown

Chocolate brown colour with a mocha head. Mild roasted malt aroma with a hint of chocolate. Sweet malt flavour with more chocolate notes. Mellow, but flavourful, with a moderately dry finish. A good session beer for a crisp autumn evening.
