‘Dark Mild’ English style session beer with the ABV and color of an Irish Stout but a nuttier, softer mouthfeel from crystal and chocolate malts, and a finishing dryness from aroma hops. Brewed for drinkability to extract the maximum complexity and flavor from a relatively ‘light’ beer, warm fermented to accentuate dark fruit and roast malt notes. Conceived for cask and perfect served as a Real Ale. Hopped with Cluster and Perle.

From a can...

A: dark, opaque brown; almost black with a thin tan head.

S: light roasted malts and chocolate

T: roasted malts, light chocolate, dark fruits, and ends a bit smokey with a touch of hops to balance it out

M: very smooth, lightly carbonated. Would be the perfect on cask.

Overall: this is a very smooth drinking and flavorful beer. Best to drink at a slightly warmer temp to bring out even more of the flavors.

Served cask style at The Madison Pour House in Albany, NY.

Served in a tulip, this beer is a chocolatey, dark brown-black. Small tight head present that lasts a good amount of time.

Light but pleasant roasted malt aromas. True to the dark mild style.

Tastes include light, pleasant roasted malts, nutty flavors, and toast.

Light cask-style carbonation, with a light to medium body. Feels really good to drink down. Very sessionable.

One of the best cask beers I've had. This style obviously really works.
