The first beer tasted by half-pint at the Chelmsford Summer Beerfest., 12/07/2006, gravity-dispensed. This is also a new brew by the Mersea Island Brewery.
A: dark brown in colour with ruby glows, coming with a naturally restrained, off-white rimmed head and low carbonation.
S: nutty malts, medium-intensity on the aroma, backed by dried-grass/hayish and slightly earthy hops in the background. Mild, smooth and balanced.
T: the initial palate of chewy brown maltiness with a brown-sugary bitter-sweet edge gradually yields to a chewy yet slightly sour hint of roasty malts and a lingering roast-nutty aftertaste, added with a dryish edge just about enough to keep a balance with the malty sweetness upfront.
M&D: very smoothly textured, medium-bodied, turning lighter in intensity and thin-ish in the finish. An easy-drinking and quite tasty brown-ale to dark-mild type dark beer. If added with an additional dryish touch and lighter in body, it could well be a Dark Mild for sure. But I enter it as a Brown Ale here for its slightly richer profile. Awaiting confirmation from the brewery~~
