Butcher’s Tears

Butcher’s Tears Rök is a sophisticated, smoke-inflected interpretation of a Dark Mild, bridging traditional British sessionability with rustic timber notes. The sensory experience is anchored by a robust base of English Pearl barley malt, providing a foundation of biscuit and toasted crust. This is elevated by the distinct presence of Polish oak-smoked wheat malt, which imparts a refined, woody campfire aroma. Delicate floral and earthy accents from Herefordshire Early Birds hops provide a balanced counterpoint to the malt-driven sweetness. Despite its slightly elevated gravity, it maintains a classic mahogany hue and a smooth, integrated finish that highlights nutty complexity and gentle smoke.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown with ruby highlights; clear to slightly hazy with a moderate, creamy tan head that shows fair retention.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring prominent toasted bread and biscuit from the Pearl malt, layered with a clean, woody oak smoke. Low floral and herbal hop notes from the Early Birds variety are present, alongside subtle hints of plum and caramel.

Taste. Malt-forward with flavors of toasted grain, light toffee, and nutty sweetness. The oak-smoked wheat provides a savory, integrated woodiness that persists throughout. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, just enough to balance the malt without lingering. The finish is medium-dry with a final impression of bready sweetness and fading smoke.

Mouthfeel. Medium body, feeling somewhat fuller than a standard session mild due to the wheat content and 5.2% ABV. Carbonation is medium-low, contributing to a smooth, creamy texture with very light alcohol warmth.
