The British Mild is a popular session ale known for a soft hop character and lower alcohol content. While holding true to these classic guidelines, Flagship Dark Mild is nearly black in color due to a complex malt profile that’s bursting with flavor. Using a wide variety of roasted, toasted, and caramel malts, this ale is meant to salute our fondness for dark beer. With a light bodied mouth feel that is exceptionally refreshing. we created this beer to be a go-to for dark ale enthusiasts and a gateway for the “non” dark beer drinker.

On-tap at Flagship Brewing Company, Staten Island, NY
A: The beer is black when viewed from afar; when held up to a bright light the edges of the glass are dark brown in color. It poured with a large lacy patch of tan bubbles on the surface and a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of dark malts are present in the nose along with some hints of roasted malts.
T: The taste follows the smell but has stronger flavors of dark malts along with bits of accompanying roast. No bitterness is perceptible, although there are just enough hops to mask any sweetness.
M: It feels a bit more than light-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is very flavorful for such a light-bodied beer. As such, it goes down very easily. The beer is very sessionable.
Serving type: on-tap

Great little beer. Had a pint at Draught 55 to start the night. It has more roasted flavor than any other dark mild I've had and you could easily call it an English porter. Either way, it's dark, toasty and very drinkable. This is the sort of beer I choose to brew myself. Nicely done. I'll have another.
