Theakston Dark Mild

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany brown with a warm, translucent quality when held to light. A modest tan head forms and fades quickly, leaving only light Schaumkleiden on the glass. Carbonation is restrained and gentle, appropriate to the style's low strength.

◌ Aroma

Roasted coffee and dark malt dominate the nose, accompanied by a subtle anise-like character from liquorice undertones. Mild noble hop presence adds a dry, floral quality without aggressive bitterness. The overall impression is earthy and rounded, with no sharp edges.

◐ Geschmack

Smooth entry delivering chocolate and dark grain flavours across the palate. Malty sweetness is restrained and balanced by gentle Fuggle hop character that brings a full, rounded bitterness. The finish is clean and dry, with no cloying residue.

◑ Abgang

Medium-short finish with a dry, slightly astringent aftertaste. Roasted malt lingers subtly without becoming heavy or lingering excessively.
