Wow...really wished i hadn’t shared this now....i’ think i’ll get some more this beer it’s fantastic! Amazing nose on it, roasted chocolate....this is dead set the best mild i’ve had, there’s no way you’d know it was 3.4% because it has such a full body...it’s also got a great hoppy finish that i wasn’t expecting too....i need to try this on cask!

bottle, good dark amber color with tan foam, aromas of dusty cocoa, flavor of chocolate, some maltiness, roasty, finish is pretty good

500ml bottle from Weaver’s Liquors, Elkton, MD...poured cola brown, no head...smell of malt, prunes...taste was bland, watery, thin, barely any carbonation...wondering if it went bad, was in my fridge for 7 months...had to dump it.

Bottle. Cloudy reddened brown pour. Scattered, tan foam head. Sticky, spotty lacing. Aroma is dark fruit, cocoa, watery chocolate and roasted malts. Taste is chocolate, light roasted malts, cocoa, light fruit and floral hops. Some light cold coffee notes as well. Body is light with soft carbonation at times it seems almost flat despite the visual signs of carbonation. Finishes with more floral hops, light bitter coffee, chocolate, cocoa, and soft fruit notes. Roasted malt throughout.

Pours a dark black with reddish tints and a finger of off white head. Very fruity aroma, porter like, chocolate, roasty, caramel, berries, etc. Taste is thin roastyness, chocolate, molassesand overall light and smooth. Wasn’t what I expected a Mild to be like, it is very good.

bottle from Tucker’s Maltings. Clear dark colour, nearly black with a mahogany glow. Mid-sized beige head. Aroma of blackberries. Light-bodied with flavours of roasetd malts, caramel and blackberries and blackcurrant.

1/14/09 From the bottle. Aroma is smoky, peaty, with a light background of semisweet molasses. Appearance is clear brown with a well maintained cream colored head. Flavor is light roast molasses. Mouthfeel is grainy, and light in body and carb texture. Overal, very cool and complex for a beer with zero agressiveness.
