Neptune Brewery

Neptune Brewery’s Selkie is an evocative interpretation of a Dark Mild, designed for effortless sessionability without sacrificing depth. At its heart, the beer offers a rich tapestry of malt expression, leading with gentle notes of chocolate and a toasty, bready foundation. These darker elements are beautifully balanced by a subtle, plum-like fruity sweetness that evokes orchard fruits and traditional British yeast esters. Despite its approachable gravity, the profile remains flavorful and nuanced, concluding with a pleasing dry finish that invites another sip. It captures the quintessential British pub character, balancing a complex malt profile with a refreshing, light-hearted structure.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown with ruby highlights. Topped by a low, creamy, tan head with moderate retention and light lacing. Generally clear.

Aroma. Moderate malt intensity featuring distinct layers of milk chocolate, toasted bread, and a hint of nutty caramel. Low fruity esters reminiscent of plum and dark berries. Hop aroma is very low, presenting as a faint earthy or floral note.

Taste. Initially malty and sweet with a soft bready base, transitioning quickly into gentle chocolate and light roast. Distinct plum-like fruitiness provides a mid-palate lift. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, providing just enough structure to balance the malt sweetness. The finish is notably dry and clean with a lingering touch of cocoa and roasted grain.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Low to moderate carbonation provides a gentle sparkle. No detectable alcohol warmth or astringency.
