Commercial Description:
The dark mild is a real session beer whose type is rarely seen anymore, even back "across the pond". Quite similar to a Southern Brown Ale, a dark mild is smooth, very light in the mouth, and gently hopped. Milds were traditionally a workingman's drink, lower in alcohol and easy to down. Now derided as "beginner's beer" in many places, Famous Sidekick offers a flavorful retort to that notion.

I really wish there were more brewers like this one in North America. Deep brown beer. Aroma shows light molasses and soft milk chocolate. The flavour is lovely, soft and earthy, some light chocolate and toast. Flavour is also quite nice with soft sweet milk chocolate, light herbal bitterness. Lightly astringent. Excellent balance and a quality example of a style that we never get to see over here.

Clear dark brown pour with a ring of offwhite lace. Decent aroma and flavor of roasted malt and chocolate with a bitter finish, it’s mild but pleasant.
