25.4oz crowler poured at the brewery on 12-16-21(kegged on 12/3). Opened 12-18-21.
1" beige head, good retention - falls to a cap and leaves behind ample sheet of lacing.
Dark brown with ruby highlights and good clarity.
Moderate aroma, earthy malt, mild chocolate, tiny bit of dark fruit, and minerality.
Toasty, chocolate, mild coffee, bready, and some fruitiness as well - lots of malt flavor packed in at 4%.
Light body with medium carbonation. Mild sweetness in a flavorful finish. Crushable.
Outstanding.

Poured at the brewery from tap into a half pint.
Nice dark brown with good head and lacing. Toasted malt smell and taste. Flavors of toasted dark wheat bread. Dry finish. A pleasant beer!

Poured from tap into shaker, 1 finger light tan head recedes quickly, soso lacing. Ruby black in the glass, no light passes through. Smells of roasted malt, chocolate and roasted coffee. Taste is very complex, the roasted malt shines, heavy chocolate on the front and carries thru to the end. Pumpernickel comes through, and it has a slight floral dry finish. Mouthfeel is unbelievable for a 4% beer.

UPDATE--------
From CO2 tap, and well after the Hollers sold to another group.
Pours with a small tan head, dark brown color. Aroma is light toasted malts and grains, but tastes is way sweeter than it use to be. Lots of caramel stickiness, and an almost oxidized cherry flavor. Not outright bad, though not nuanced anymore, and kind of middle of the road for a Mild made by an American brewery. Not even close to what it was.

This is Holler's new Dark Mild, they used a few more darker malts, and upped the ABV to a stunning 4%. I lost count of how many casks I had of this on release day.
A: Pours a near black color, with some ruby red highlights around the edges. A dense, creamy light beige head forms with excellent retention. Love that cascading look from a cask, with plenty of lace left behind.
S: A subtle nose for sure, but lots of nuances. Toasted malts, baked bread, light sweetness. Everything is so warm and inviting. Love it.
T: Like the nose, but bigger, if that is possible for a 4% session beer. Amazing toasted malts and baked bread flavors. Light chocolate, light sweetness. Even a touch of herbal hops. Amazingly subtle, and is so well rounded and enjoyable.
M/O: A light to medium body. For cask, this has really good carbonation throughout. Ultra smooth and creamy, which makes it so I don't mind the lightness. Something that is amazing to drink again and again. One that does not get old pint after pint, as a true session beer should.
This is what a Pub Ale/Session Ale is. Something that is subtle, deceptively flavorful, and keeps getting better and more enjoyable pint after pint. On cask at the brewery this is fantastic, and spot on for the style. Like many of Holler's offerings, this will probably not garner a lot of attention, but is exactly what I want. Excellent all around.
