Don't be intimidated by the rich walnut color. This beer is really not heavy at all. It is very smooth with no bitterness, and has a real warming, nut-like flavor and aroma. Brewed to match a traditional English mild, it has carbonation levels that are more American. Our "flagship" brew, it's a very social drink and goes great with all types of food.

"Courtesy of pfoxyjohn. Pours a deep mahogany brown with a thinning head and some lacing. Some carbonation. Aromas of slightly toasted malts and nuts with very slight hops. Taste is smooth with a balance of toasty and hops. "

"Sampled from draught: pours a deep mahogany body with a big frothy tan head, with plenty of roasted nuts in the aroma as you can imagine. Rich in flavor with a sweet nutty taste and a soft hop finish. An excellent beer to have as their flagship i would say."

[3] Review by pfoxyjohn from Watertown, WI, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/22/2007 3:20:57 PM)
"Bottle: A dark amber color with a thin tan head. A slight roasted malt nose and a smooth, faintly nutty malt flavor; finishes pleasantly sweet/sour. An unassuming but nicely crafted version of an English mild. Draught: This is a tasty offering from the solid South Shore Brewery. At the brewpub this poured a good looking amber brown with a light, creamy head. A light malt nose and smooth, full and round on the palate. Flavors are smooth and very nicely balanced; lightly roasted nutty malt and clean, subtle hops. An excellent finish; crisp and nutty.
