Dark Mild·United Kingdom·7% ABV·One of 29 Dark Milds in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Black Cat Reserve's roasted and chocolate character. An intensely dark strong mild with deep notes of roasted coffee, chocolate and mocha, set against hints of dark cherry and blackcurrant. Fuggles and Junga hops sit over chocolate, Maris Otter and torrified wheat malts. At 7.0% it is more than twice as strong as Black Cat, a limited cask beer with still no luck for the witches.
