English Style Mild Ale
Missouri Beer Company

16oz can. Poured an opaque, dark brown color with a small, off-white head of foam. It smelled of coffee, roasted malt and bread crust. Nice coffee roastiness with with toffee and caramel.

Nice easy drinking English Mild

Light and tastey at shave duck STL

Pours a dark mahogany - great clarity although not see-through given the dark color. Thin tan head dissipates rather quickly. Head is a bit too light, even with a vigorous pour.

Aroma is very earthy - notes of nuts, toasted malts, dirt, old leaves, fresh wood are all there. For a mild it has a rather pungent aroma.

Taste is quite nice - lots of nutty overtones, toasted malts, a tad grainy, but really just a hint. Simple and straightforward while hitting all the notes it should.

Feel is a bit watery - light - too light for the style, I'd expect a bit more body. Mild carbonation is spot on.

Overall I'd like so see more head and a bit more body, but otherwise this is a quite well done mild. Very enjoyable and flavorful.

I picked up a Crowler of this brew on a Saturday afternoon at the brewery. Nice time talking with the owner. The beer is dark, nearly blac, with ruby hightlights. A slim tan head fades quickly. The aroma is of nutty, toasted malt with a bit of grain. Think mixed nuts. The taste has nut-based, lightly roasted notes. I get roasted grains and a little coffee. Full in body, drinkable. Bitterness just for balance. Not a bad mild. I think that this is an under-appreciated style, and this one is noteworthy for the attempt. Still, I wish it had a bit more character.

Dark brown to black in color with a fingernail of brown on top. The aroma is of cocoa powder and a gentle dose of dark malt. I'm tasting cocoa and chestnuts. There's lots of flavor for the ABV. The mouth is light and fairly smooth.
