Commercial Description:
Community Dark First and foremost, Community Dark is English-style Mild Ale. We’ve dubbed it “Imperial Mild” because it’s a shade stronger than classic Mild. Light (bodied) but dark (colored), Community Dark is the ideal session ale and the best place to begin overcoming one’s irrational fear of the dark. English malts; lightly hopped with East Kent Goldings; London yeast. OG 1050 …

Pours near black with reddish hues. Aroma of toasted malt, caramel, dark crystal,. Taste is lightly sweet, dark crystal, nuts, and toffee. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.

Pours dark brown with a thin off-white head. The aroma is of mild malts. The flavor is very light for the color. Nice even malt flavors, with just a hint of hops on the finish. Very easy drinking, which is what they intended. Great session ale.

clear dark brown, scant head, faint chocolate aroma, slick body, sweet butterscotch and roasted malt flavor, very light bitterness offers no balance, slick and buttery - is this the goal?

On tap at Rich O’s Publick House when I stopped on the way to Dark Lord Day. Pours clear dark brown with a fleeting tan head. Mild sweet malt and alcohol make up the aroma. A light palate that delivers a malt forward flavor profile.

Pours dark brown/black, with little head. Sweet, malty aroma. Strong flavor of cola with a decent, heavy body.

On tap at Rich O’s Publick House during RBSG Road Trip 2007. Pretty - clear dark brown with red highlights. Sweet fruit nose, red grape and black cherry. Dry chocolate flavors, some raisin. Finish is non-existent. Eh.

On tap at Rich O’s Publick House during RBSG Road Trip 2007. Hazy dark brown body with a small off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, light chocolate and raisin. Sweet chocolate and grainy malt flavor.

Draught at the brewpub. Dark brown, almost black but with light still shining through. Slightly funky, musty nose. Thin with relatively strong malt flavors, sticky and slightly sour. No grain, though! No hops, either. Seems to be a bit dumbed down, even for style, and comparable to, say, a Killian’s. The least of the six beers tried this day.
