Rudgate Brewery's Brew No. 1 Vanilla Mild offers a refined sensory experience centered on the interplay between dark malts and authentic Madagascan vanilla pods. Pouring a deep mahogany with a resilient tan head, the aroma is defined by layers of milk chocolate, toasted nuts, and a fragrant, creamy sweetness. The palate follows with a soft, bready base and notes of toffee and light roast, all underpinned by the smooth, floral character of the vanilla. Despite its session-strength 3.6% ABV, this Dark Mild delivers a medium-bodied mouthfeel and a balanced, lingering finish that highlights malt complexity over hop bitterness.
Appearance.Deep mahogany to dark brown in color with good clarity. Features a low-to-moderate, creamy tan head with fair retention and light lacing.
Aroma.Moderate malt intensity featuring notes of chocolate, caramel, and a hint of toasted hazelnut. The addition of Madagascan vanilla pods introduces a prominent, sweet, and floral aromatic layer. Low earthy hop notes and subtle fruity esters like dried plum are present.
Taste.Initial malt sweetness with flavors of milk chocolate, biscuity bread, and light treacle. The vanilla character is well-integrated, providing a creamy mid-palate without being overwhelming. Bitterness is low, serving only to balance the malt. The finish is clean and slightly sweet with a lingering hint of vanilla bean.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, almost velvety texture from the vanilla pods. Carbonation is low to moderate, ensuring a sessionable feel. No alcohol warmth or astringency.
