The calculated and traditional British-style mild ale takes on a spontaneous attitude under the capable hands of Akasha Brewing. A "tartness" here and an "earthy" there brings the ale more in line with what's capable of stock ale or old ale, but with a more sessionable tone.
Russet brown and with soft mahogany hues, the creamy swath of foam above carries the earthen bouquet of weathered wood, saddle leather, damp basement and wine rot ahead of a sweeter scent of caramel and chocolate. Its taste picks up on those more savory toffee and cocoa notes and introduces elements of charred toast, roasted nuttiness and faint coffee.
As the ale seeps into the middle palate, the sweetness begins to recede and the sourness, spiciness and earthiness picks up. A cherry-like tang extends into a stern merlot-like vinous taste with the sharpness of green apple, green grape, dried lime and pineapple in its wake. Peppery, woodsy and semi-robust, the beer's green peppercorn finish does more than balance the sweetness and fruit-forward drift, it adds a soiled layer of complexity and charm.
Medium-light on the palate, the beer's acidity easily contends with the malt and dissolves its sweetness and starchiness en route to a crisp, drying and pepper finish. Its piquant sourness refreshes the palate though the ale's insistence on earth, wine and pepper keeps its aftertaste more rustic with leather and wet woods than cleanly lactic.
