Appearance: Pours a clear, dark brown body with reddish hints to it and topped by a rather creamy, eggshell-colored head. Smell: Mild aroma of dark caramel malts with a faint hint of grain. The mildness of the aroma is to be expected, as for what you gain in appearance and body you lose in aroma. Taste: Caramel maltiness with a touch of roast and grain. Medium sweetness. Hint of sweet iced tea. Lightly floral with a mild hop bitterness. Lightly malt finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Mild carbonation. Very creamy mouthfeel. Drinkability: A pleasant English mild, and a fine repeat quaffer to pair with the Gouda Cheeseburger (medium-rare).

Nice and mellow mild on nitrogen. Maltly backbone with caramel support. Low on the grassy hops and in great balance. An easy drinker.

This was an excellent mild. It was served nitro, so I would have expected muted aroma and flavor, but if this was muted, it was a malt bomb before nitrogenation. Big caramel, brown sugar and slight light chocolate maltiness. Very low bitterness and eternally drinkable. One of the better milds I’ve ever had.
