Flying Fish Belgian Mild

Brewed by Flying Fish Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Ale
Cherry Hill, New Jersey USA

On draft at Capones. Pours a dark mahogany with a medium off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, light herbs and spice. Taste of malt, spice and light herbs.

Draft @ Capone’s: Poured an amber color with a nice head. The aroma was sweet dark fruits, roasted coffee, and some vanilla. The flavor was dark fruit, sugar, sweet roasted malts and a hint of caramel. Overall, an interesting brew, easy to drink and can drink lots!

I assumed this was made from the second runnings of Flying Fish’s excellent Belgian Dubble, but came over to Ratebeer.com and found out it was from the Porter. Wow, very chocolatey, and tastes like a much bigger beer. Poured with a huge pillowy head, which slowly dissipated into nothing. Leaving a bare trace of lacing along the way. Aroma is and overall flavor is very Belgian. This beer complemented my meal very well and would love to drink this regularly, if offered. This was seriously good.

[Draft @ Capones] Poured a lightly hazy, purple amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruits, citrus, Belgian spices, cocoa, and candy sugar. Taste of dark fruits, spices, earthy yeast, cocoa, caramel malt, and a fruity finish.

On tap at Capone’s. Poured a deeper amber, almost brown, color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of roast, coffee, lightly sugary, and herbal. Tastes of the same herbalness, brown sugar, roast, chocolate, and caramel. Somewhat earthy too. Lacing left on the glass.

Tap at Capones. Pours a deep brown with amber notes and a medium creamy off white head that left nice lacing. Aroma of spicy Belgian yeast esters, coffee and vanilla. Flavor of the same, really earthy.

BCTWC 09. Pours a deep coppery brown with a thin off white head. Aroma is initially on the heavy coffee side and surprised it did not contain any coffee at all- some chocoalte malt, light phenolic belgian character but it is subdued and lightly herbal and weedy in the hop character- no fruityness from the amarillo noticed. Flavoris more coffee notes, chocolate, light caramel sweetness, with an earthy and prickly spicy pepper finish. Pretty good and easy drinking, although the overall belgian character seemed very low.
