This dark mild was a surprise. Dark on the pour with a toasty taste and smell. Picked up coffee roast flavors as well with nice after taste on palate.

Nitro tap at the brewery during RBSG 2012. Pours a deep brown with orange/red highlights and a huge tan head. Sweet coffee aroma with light roastiness, but mainly soft and sweet. Flavor is dry roasty coffee, semisweet chocolate chips. Smooth and easy to drink but finishes with a hard roastiness that turns astringent after a while.

On the nose, coffee and chocolate. Very dark - with a nice head. Taste is a little thin with a toasty finish. Pretty good.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours cola color with a slight tan head. Aroma is mild chocolate. Med body. Soft carb. Flavor is darkish chocolate with some slightly burnt malt. Sort of an old fashioned Guinness aspect. Drinks nice. Finishes bitter.

Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Dark as night - almost black - with a frothy white head. Taste is sort of watery with a really roasty finish. Kind of reminded me of chewing on really dark roast malted barley, but light enough to handle a few. Low alcohol and pleasantly fizzy carbonation. A beer you could certainly drink a lot of.

On tap at the brewery. Very dark brown with a creamy tan head (the nitro version, the ordinary version has just a small head). Roasted malts aroma. Good chocolate and roasted coffee flavours. Medium to light body. Nice and true to style.

Sampled on 2/19/2012 at Beer Revolution. This mild ale pours an eclipse black color from the tap. Small to medium sized tan foamy head. The aroma is roasty malts, touch of chocolate and a little sweet. A medium bodied mild. The malts are roasty, caramel, chocolate and sweet. The hops are earthy. A touch sweet, a touch smoky, makes a nice combination. Very drinkable, would be a great session ale. Lots of roasty, malty flavors. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
