🌍 United Kingdom · Dark Mild · One of 3 Dark Milds in hopIQ

"Malts take centre stage with a mix of crystal and chocolate with a dash of roasted barley to produce nutty aromas complemented by the addition of Goldings hops. Resting toward the higher volume for its variety, Dark Velvet Mild remains sessionable whilst finding the sweet spot for flavour and body." Gluten-free, vegan. A rare and celebrated dark mild.
