Commercial Description:
Darkly coloured and rich in appearance, this mild ale is brewed in the traditional style of British mild beers that are disappearing even from the pubs of London, England. Grand River Brewing has revived this traditional style of beer that is deep in colour but doesn’t possess the harsh bitterness that many people associate with a darker beer. The pronounced creamy head welcomes you and is followed with a beautiful roasted barley flavour and a smooth creamy taste. This is a beer that just makes you want to have another and with being a mild, go right ahead.

Bottle @ Volo. Dark pour, this beer is all chewy caramel malts in the aroma, very little hopiness in this beer. Taste is the same chewy caramel, kind of a silty mouthfeel, very flat; cream ale like.

Bottle: Poured a clear dark brown color ale with a quite large foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of fruity ester with some light toffee malt. Taste is also dominated by light fruity ester with notes of toffee and caramel malt. Body is about average with good carbonation. I thought this one really packed lots of character while maintaining good balance.

Bottle shared by scrizz at his birthday bash. His dogs name is Grover. He was on the porch. The nose on this one has some light tart tangy notes underneath some roast, and light smoke even. A little nutty. Murky brown with a thin foamy beige head. light chocolate, roasted nuts, and a soft tangy flavor. Light bodied, but flavorful. Good.

500ml via scrizzly the nizzle. Dark brown with grayish head. Nose is plum sweet with some roasty, a touch smokey, malt and some brown sugar. Thin body and good amount of sour twang to it. Not sure if this infected or if this is supposed to be this way. I don’t have much experience with milds.

FOr a mild it has quite a big dark malty flavour. A little smokey and nutty with maybe some hints of dark fruit or something of the sort.

Bottle, fresh from the brewery. This is a brown coloured ale with a reddish hue. The head is tan brown, creamy, fast disappearing. Aroma of toasted nuts, grain, molasses, toffee, prunes. Mouthfeel is light. The flavour is fairly smokey with buttery caramel, hazelnut, caramel, apricot, a hint of tobacco.
