Alter Ego Brewing Co

Oxymoron presents a robust take on the Dark Mild, leaning into its strong designation with an elevated presence. The sensory experience is anchored by a deep, biscuity malt foundation that evokes toasted grains and warm bread. Layers of rich chocolate provide a decadent mid-palette, seamlessly transitioning into dark, vinous notes of sun-dried raisins. Despite its increased strength, the beer maintains a characteristically smooth profile with a gentle, restrained bitterness that allows the complex dark sugar and malt interplay to remain the focal point. This is an expressive ale that balances substantial depth with the approachable, malt-forward charm of its traditional British inspiration.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown with ruby highlights; brilliant clarity. Moderate, off-white to tan head with fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high malt intensity featuring distinct aromas of toasted biscuit and milk chocolate. Prominent fruity esters of raisin and plum are evident. Hop aroma is very low and earthy. Very low diacetyl is optional.

Taste. Malt-forward with a complex layer of biscuit and toasted bread. Deep chocolate and sweet raisin flavors dominate the mid-palate over a bready base. Low hop bitterness provides balance against the malt sweetness without overpowering it. The finish is smooth and clean with a lingering toffee and light roast aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Low to medium-low carbonation. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable but remains subtle and never hot.
