Had this last fall. Copper colored with aroma of caramel malt, almond, toffee, some cabernet. Solid complexity and balance.

The "Mild" is available cask from the brewery for a limited time after a batch of V12 is produced... Poured a clear copper color with a tight white head and nice lacing. Nutty, toasty, lightly fruity aroma. Taste was caramel malt, light nuts, and a funky hop flavor. Thin, rather refreshing, but very dry almost sour. Much less fruity than the regular mild.

I was told that this was the second runnings from the mash of the V12 with a little chocolate malt thrown in. I also had it from the hand pump which made a great beer even better. Beeeautiful head. Thick and creamy. Medium copper body. The aroma is butter and maple. The same carries through into the flavor is a little nuttiness and fruit. It’s like a stack of pancakes without the full belly. Awesome mild.
