North Riding Brewery

This Strong Mild presents a robust take on the classic Dark Mild, leaning into its elevated 5.5% ABV to deliver a rich, comforting sensory experience. The use of traditional English malts creates a deep tapestry of dark toffee and gentle coffee notes, which define the aromatic and flavor profile. English hops contribute a subtle, earthy undercurrent that balances the malt-forward core without adding sharp bitterness. It pours a clear, mahogany-hued liquid with a persistent tan head. On the palate, a bready base supports layers of roast and caramel, finishing with an off-dry character that highlights the brewery’s focus on malt complexity.

Appearance. Mahogany to dark brown color (20–25 SRM). Clear with a moderate, creamy, light tan head that shows good lacing and retention.

Aroma. Moderate malt intensity featuring prominent notes of dark toffee and roasted coffee. Low earthy and floral English hop character is present alongside very low fruity esters of plum. Clean fermentation profile with no diacetyl.

Taste. Malty sweetness leads with flavors of toffee, toasted bread, and roasted coffee beans. Low earthy hop flavor provides balance against the moderate bitterness. The profile is malt-focused but well-balanced, finishing off-dry with lingering nutty and caramel notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate-low carbonation. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the strength of the beer. No significant roast-derived astringency.
