cgarvieuk (2348), Edinburgh, Scotland Aug 17, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08 ... or at least i think it was this one ... Deep brown ... roast wood and some malt in nose ... rich smooth malts with ligth roast. Ungstrup (11075), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 9, 2005 A dark red-brown beer with a fine light brown head. The aroma is roasted with notes of coffee. The flavor is very powerful of coffee, but also of chocolate - great flavor. If this is how Mild’s were in the old days, I want them back to the roots. JorisPPattyn (4275), Antwerpen, Belgium Jan 9, 2005 Crème-coloured, thin head; opaque brown ale with orangey hints. Sweet, dark malts, bit woody, winegrapes, tannins, whiff of tobacco. Severe woody, nearly tart taste with a sweet malty undercurrent. Tannins abund. Bitter chocolate, whiff of fruity sour. Not quite in balance. Well bodied, some alcohol warming. Especially in comparison to the standard, the Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild, I cannot find this very "mild" at all. Rather harsh, but not uninteresting. rlgk (3014), Motala, Sweden Nov 15, 2004 Dark amber, with an offwhite head.Aroma from coffee and milk choclate. Malty and with toffe notes and some fruits. Has a mild malty flavor with chocolate notes and ends in a mild way as well. jfm (1572), Holbæk, Denmark Sep 1, 2004 Chestnut color with a slight off white head. The taste is mild malty fruityness. Has some light yeasty notes. Features a very nice balanced palate.
