We collaborated on the release of two Mild ales inspired by recipes 100 years apart. This 1995 Mild takes inspiration from sessionable dark milds popular in the latter decade of last century. Aromas of brown sugar, chocolate and raisin give way to flavours of a sweet, malt-forward beer with a light bitterness and notes of molasses and dried fruit. Collaboration with Turning Point Brew.

So named because it's a dark beer which tastes deceptively like a light IPA. Black in appearance but without the charred notes of other dark beers, which is achieved through the use of a special German malt. The hop aromas and flavours are intense, which we achieve through a major dose of dry hopping. The resulting beer wraps all the wonderful hop profiles of an IPA inside a refreshing black exterior.
