Mild Enthusiasm
Imprint Beer Company

A Tavour Treat. Pours a dark brown color with a minimal head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of black coffee and roasted malts. Taste is spices and black coffee. Finishes slightly sweet.

Fills a double-walled pint glass with very dark brown beer that is clear with dark cola highlights (SRM 35-37). A giant khaki head quickly turns rocky before collapsing from four inches to a ring, leaving patches of sticky islands in its wake.

The aroma has a light, roasted malt sensation with strong nuttiness. Black coffee and rye bread are also very evident.

The malt carries forward from the aroma with light bitterness and adding sweetness in equal proportion. It has a dry finish with some cocoa powder coming out as it warms. Mild roasted malt is very appealing.

It has a medium body and the texture of seersucker cotton. Light carbonation and slight alcohol.

This is a style one expects to be able to sit back and drink multiple rounds with friends. This version strikes an excellent balance of interesting components and easy drinkability. One could easily spend an afternoon in a pub with buddies just chatting for an entire afternoon.

 

 

 

 

Nitro can, so a huge beige head atop a light tone of black body, thick rings of lacing. Roasted malt, baker’s chocolate, with light vanilla, toasted caramel and earthy yeast for the aromas. Taste big cocoa, toast, roasted malt and grain forward rest from nose supports. This is absolutely delicious! Feel is light and roasty, frothy and dry, velvent soft and smooth. One of my favorite dark milds I have had to date

I’m honestly surprised that I found this one on Tavour. They tend to have more hyped beers, I never expected to see a Mild on there. Nor did I expect one from Imprint, who are known mostly for the Schmoojie series. So naturally, I had to pick this up when I saw it. Let’s crack it open

Pours a very dark brown with 2 fingers of creamy light tan head that fades to a thin ring and leaves minimal lacing

The nose is very coffee forward, but not in an overbearing way. I’m picking up on aromas of acidic coffee, pumpernickel toast, milk chocolate, herbal hops, brown sugar, toffee, light raisin, and rye

It stays mostly the same in taste, perhaps focusing even more on the roasty aspects. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting dark roast coffee, dark toast, earthy hops, raisin, molasses, burnt caramel, and light cocoa powder. The swallow brings notes of acidic coffee, dark toast, black cherry, raisin, cocoa powder, earthy hops, burnt caramel, and a touch of leather

A medium body pairs with gentle carbonation, resulting in a slick and roasty beer. Finishes mostly dry and refreshing

For a brewery that’s known for Fruited Sours, this is a damn good Dark Mild. Super easy drinking

 

 

16oz can from Tavour. 50th mild ale rating! Dark brown pour, thin layer of fine beige head. Aroma is roasty malts, burnt toast, dark chocolate. Taste brings roasty bitterness, semi sweet chocolate, coffee. Awesome feel to this, really well done mild ale. More milds , please!

I need more milds in my life. Poured beautiful dark brown with a fluffy feathery head. On the nose and the taste a lot of roast and toast, dark bread, and nuttiness. Almost too flavorful for the low ABV. Mouthful is full and satisfying. This is definitely an American take on the style. It's missing the subtlety of the English counterpart, which I think of as just dark bread in a glass. But still an excellent take on the style. I can drink a ton of these at the low ABV. Love the dark and stylish label.

Dark brown body, clear with the pour, opaque in the glass; huge, soft and thickly spongy head, bone-white color. Big roasted malt nose; light cocoa and toffee. Mild milk chocolate flavor with elements of cocoa; light residual bitterness that seems more from grain husk than hops. Medium-body; smooth; light residual slipperiness; a little sweet, a little dry with the overall mouthfeel.

A very nice and flavorful dark mild. The beer is nitro infused. Personally, I'd rather try a non-nitro version of the beer. Regardless, this pleasant, easy drinking dark ale hits the spot.

16 oz nitro can. Purchased at the brewery a few weeks ago, yet the can is dated from July. I didn't think to check dates since I don't normally expect a brewery to be selling 6 month old beer in their take-out cooler.

pours very dark brown, with the cascading nitro head. head is loose bubbles and eventually fades. aroma is nice - rich dark malts - cocoa, bread crust. but the taste seems stale - cardboard in the finish. the nitro doesn't work for this beer - instead of a creamy feel is just feels flat. not like a cask beer which it's supposed to emulate.

Sampling a lightly chilled 16 oz can poured into a snifter. Part of my Christmas gift pack from my brother. Thanks @bpsully !
The date stamp says canned 7/14/2022. Can says nitro infused, but I dont believe there is a widget in the can.
The beer pours a dark rich brown color with little to no light passing through the glass. A creamy beige head foams up about 2 cm and fades to a sturdy edge layer and one large island in the center of the glass. Scattered lacing when I swirl the glass or take a sip. no nitro character or cascading on the pour.
The aroma on this beer is some dark chocolate cocoa powder, hints of caramel and some earthy and maybe woody hop notes mix in as well.
First sip reveals a light body and smooth texture with very fine tingly carbonation.
Flavor is some dark cocoa notes with a bit of bready malts, dark wheat grainy bread for sure. A hint of earthy hop notes and a bit of lingering caramel.
Very easy to drink and flavorful beer, especially for a nice dark mild.
WEll made, glad to have tried this one.
