M&B Mild

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to near-black in colour, with a dense crumb of tan foam that clings persistently to the glass walls. The body is opaque and full, with minimal carbonation evident—characteristic of traditional cask service. A modest head forms at pour and holds with good retention.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted grain and caramel sweetness, followed by a buttery maltiness that recalls toffee and honey. Beneath sits a subtle fruity note—the signature of the three-yeast blend—mingling with gentle roasted cereal notes. The overall character is warm and inviting, with no aggressive hop presence.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with pronounced sweet malt and ripe fruit character, building a rounded, almost dessert-like entry. Mid-palate introduces burnt-roast coffee and dark chocolate, grounding the sweetness with bitter-cocoa tannins. A faint lemony sourness appears as counterpoint, preventing cloying, while the modest 24 IBU keeps bitterness restrained and integrated.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short and clean, trailing coffee and subtle cocoa bitterness without harshness. The low strength (2.8% ABV) contributes to a light, quaffable farewell.
