Rock Mild
Nottingham Brewery

 

 

On cask at the GBBF.

Pours chocolate black with no head. Chocolate, vanilla bean and caramelized sugar nose. Earthy, port barrel, sour currant and kola malts with a roasty bite and some musty, followed by tea, tobacco and bark hops. Strawberry kick to the finish. Thin to medium, chewy, and a mild finish.

Not what I expected from a mild - surprised by some notes I'd associate with Old Ale - but that could say more about me than the beer.

Definitely some interesting flavors and it did go on to win a medal...

At the Marquis of Granby at Granby! ( but an old friend from many other outlets too)
This is everything I want from a mild , a lovely dark rich brew which is satisfying as well as thirst quenching.It's a beautifully balanced brew which illustrates how mild ought to be in the mainstream of beers in this country.
It's true to say than I have enjoyed all Nottingham Brewery's offerings.

Just a good, old fashioned, (very) dark mild thirst-quencher, of the kind you didn't think they made any longer. Smooth and dark with a big foamy head. Not unlike Bateman's DM, but a little stronger-tasting. Frankly, I think it's a belter. If you like dark mild, you'll love this.
