Commercial Description:
This is also a dark "big" ale. Made in the traditional British Ale style, it uses 6 different malts (pale/crystal/victory/chocolate/roasted barley/black malt) and two different brown sugars to produce a truly complex flavor. It has a strong warming effect from the high alcohol content, delicately balanced by Williamette hops.

I don’t get how this is a mild. It’s more a cross between a shwartbier and an old ale, with lots of different malts use to give it an interesting malt complexity. It is also 6.5% not consistent with a mild. IBU is 28, there is a modest hopping. Very decent dark malty aroma and taste. Moderately Chocolate creamy.

Sample on tap at brewpub. Notes of coffee and nutty roasted malt. Bit of chocolate with neutral fruit and some mild herbal hops. Dark copper brown clear with hops and light tan lacing head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Starts with a bit of caramel and chocolate, coffee and nutty roasted grain. Neutral fruit and light nutty bitter after.

Dark color with red haze, white head. Very heavy malt taste and smell. I enjoy dark beer and this was very pleasant.

Deep crimsony brown, light tan creamy head. The nose was nice with soft smokey notes, roasted bittersweet chocolate, mild coffee, and just a very faint hint of black currant. Flavor is very similar with just a hint of bittering hops in the end. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, softly burnt chocolate finish. This one takes the cake for this place. Nice brew...
