2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
(On tap) Very dark, almost mahogany, with a vague reddish hue. Clear and filtered, pretty much without any head. Weak notes of malt, but otherwise incredibly light-bodied. Rather watery with a decent, hoppy finish. I was told that "Milds" used to be way stronger - up to 6% - but the alcohol was lowered during the 1st world war so the workers wouldn’t cause terrible accidents in the munitions industries.... 210505

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark mahogany colour. Mild bready raisiny malt aroma. Mid sweet with light but firm body and clean mouthfeel. Slight salty hop bitterness cuts through the thin layer of caramel and chocolate. Coffee-like finish. Good enough well drinkable mild, but a bit clean.

Cask@Akkurat, Stockholm. Very deep ambery colour with small beigeish brown head. Aroma is mildly roasted malts, some slight wooden and fruity notes. Flavour is quite similar and actually being very bitter at the same time. Nice pleasant and easy to drink brew with big bitterness in the finish.

Very dark color. The aroma is light. The mouthfeel is quite thin, but with a pretty harmonious combination of roasted malts and hops.
