Okells Mild

Brewed by Okells
Style: Mild Ale
Douglas, Isle of Man

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Muddy brown coloured body with a very thin tan head. Aroma of very light roasted malt, some nuts and a touch of caramel - fairly light. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong nuttiness with malt at first showing a lot of very mild characteristics afterwards with only a bit of caramel and some minor fruits as well. Aftertaste fairly bland and watery with some malt and soap/cardboard afterwards. Overall, not such a great beer, and not showing enough flavours or complexity, even for this style! I sampled this pint on draught at the Rake in London (Borough), England on 13-December-2008.

Cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 12th February 2009. Dark brown, ok aroma. Bland flavour and watery palate. Dull as (muddy) dishwater.

Cask at the wenlock arms. Alround rating: Caramel, lots of caramel, its drinkable and very typical of a low % mild, however theres just too much caramel in here for me.

Cask@HBF2006. Deep ruby colour with mediumsized beige head. Aroma is dough, sap, some spices and mild chocolate. Flavour is fruity. earthy and also some caramel malts.

Cask @ Wenlock Arms with Magic Dave6 and Mes. Dark brown colored with a slim off white head. Light but very very drinkable. Chocolate and coffe aroma and flavour. Caramel and mal hints in the taste too. Very enjoyable.

Cask-conditioned at the Wenlock, London 20/12/08. Dark brown with reddish undertones and a slight tan head. Fruity aroma with a touch of caramel. Flavour had some sweet milk chocolate, a hint of red berries and a shorty, malty finish. OK.

Cask. Dark brown with a cream colored head. Light coffee aroma with some malt. Bland flavor. Some malt and coffee. Nothing really exciting to write about this one.

A Mes rate. Cask at the Wenlock. I was pleasantly surprised by this. Dark brown with a slim beige head. Good fruity chocolate with some faint milky coffee notes. Tastes freshly brewed, good fruity malt and some faint caramel. Rounded, delicate and enjoyable.
