Served in a pint glass at the Whey Pat in St Andrews. From notes. Reviewed 26 May 2011. Pump clip reads "Strathaven Ales Craigmill Mild Black Ale Craigmill Brewery. Traditionally hand brewed. A well balanced dark mild with a rich chocolate aroma. A blend of American hops give this ale a subtle lingering orange zest aftertaste."

A: Darkest of browns with reddish glints (I suspect these may be reflections...). A half-finger of tannish head.

S: Lots of coffee. Burnt/roasted malts. Slight buttery. Hints of vanilla.

T: Huge, roiling, roasted malt. Bitter, deep, sourish, and complex. Yummy. The aftertaste is bitter but brief, with a lingering dryness.

M: Most satisfactory! No particular comments, but appealing.

O: Great beer! Recommended; would have again. Eminently consumable and good drinking.
