Draft sample at brewpub. Pours brown with orange hues, white rimming head. Nose is surprisingly coffee and roasted malt. Taste is coffee, malt, and a mild bitter. Almost a porter with too much caramel taste to it. Bitterness is solid enough, but a bit, well, mild for a mild. Tasty concoction.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a reddish copper brown with a small off-white fizzy head that’s gone after a few seconds. Aroma has some grainyness and coffee. Flavor has a little bit of carbonic bitter. The coffee is very noticeable. A light taste and body make it a pretty solid mild. This might be pretty good on some nitro.

Grapes, and Some faint buttery notes but not alot., carbonation a little too high, but a nice clean finish. Mis identified on sampler but what a great bar

Draught. I can see why this is called a mild, but the coffee like aromas and such took me by surprise. Arrives a deep brown color (like walnut) that has a thin appearance to it. Aromas are of coffee and topsoil. Really light ABV (3.8% if I recall), and flavor is similarly mild, in spite of the dark, stouty flavors. I don’t know that I’d sell the house for another, but it is interesting.
