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.

On tap at Volo in Toronto. Malty, chocolate and caramel flavor. Sweet, with a bit of dark fruit and port. Nice, malty mild. Well done.

Dark amber-brown. The aroma is of nuts, diacetyl, and soft sugary malt. Smooth, nutty palate with some milk chocolate and toffee notes. Good dark malt complexity and thankfully the diacetyl never amounts to much.

draught at Volo. Dark garnet-brown with red hue in the light. Some diacetyl in nose. Perfectly mild, some black licorice and fruit. Sweetish entry with mild, slightly roasted finish. Excellent quaffability with incredible complexity for such low ABV.

500mL bottle, bottled Sept 11, 2008. Pours a bright, clear, dark amber-brown color; thin light-tan head with patchy lacing. Tea, dried fruits, and very light caramel in the aroma; some pleasant earthy and citrus bitterness on the perimeter. Medium mouthfeel: chocolate maltiness, roast, and light nuttiness; very crisp, lightly hopped (minerals, and earthiness), making for a highly sessionable and satisfying mild. Very good rendition. Medium finish: nuttiness, toasty malts, and touches of breadiness; the nutty notes last for a while.

This ale poured a black colour with a nice creamy tan coloured head. To the nose there are scents of ripe fruit, coffee, dark malt and a little cocoa. First taste was smooth but a little watery. Flavours of coffee and roasted malt with a little smoke thrown in. Finish is roasty with light flavours of coffee presant. This is the fourth time having this beer and they are not consistant. Although, out of 4 I have had only one that was over yeasted tasting like a Belgian.

500 ml bottle from brewery. Pours a dark (verging on black), slightly reddish brown with small tan head. Light roasty aroma with a hint of sweet caramel maltiness. Flavour also has a nice roastiness to it with hints of chocolate and hazelnut. Creamy with a slighly bitter finish. I’m impressed.

Dark reddish brown with good white head. Roasted aroma and light hints of chocolate. Flavour is malty with the chocolate present. Light sour bitterness but with great body for a mild. I’d get this again!

A very refreshing session beer. From a growler from the brewery. Nice rocky head that slowly recedes and a deep brown colour. Aroma of mild coffee, toast, molasses and almonds. Medium body with soft carbonation with an average length, dry finish.
