Mild 4.6 º

Derby Brewing Company

This stronger interpretation of a Dark Mild presents a deep ruby complexion, the result of a double mash process that enhances malt depth without sacrificing its sessionable soul. The aroma offers a layered bouquet of toffee, toasted bread, and subtle nutty notes, accented by faint earthy hops. On the palate, a rich malt profile leads with flavors of caramel and light chocolate, balanced by a gentle bitterness that ensures a clean, approachable finish. While more robust than a standard session version at 4.6% ABV, it retains the style's signature balance of dark sugar complexity and refreshing character, supported by light plum esters.

Appearance. Deep mahogany with distinct ruby highlights (approx 18-22 SRM); excellent clarity; topped by a creamy, moderate-sized tan head with fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate malt intensity featuring rich notes of caramel, dark toffee, and toasted biscuits; very low earthy hop character; subtle fruity esters reminiscent of dried raisins or plums; clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Malt-dominant with initial impressions of sweet caramel and nutty bread crusts; mid-palate reveals hints of milk chocolate and dark fruit; low hop bitterness provides just enough balance to counter the malt; finishes relatively clean with a lingering toasty sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture likely enhanced by the double mash; moderate carbonation; very low alcohol warmth; no noticeable astringency.
