I imagined this was a clone of elgoods famous black dog mild. I poured the beer with beergas and did not bottle condition. For me the resultant beer was too bitter. This masked the usual tastes you would expect. Plus a bit too much alcohol although the taste dissipated after a week or so. I’m a northerner and am
Used to malt forward milds of low bitterness and hop flavour. So it may suit the southern contingent. Give it a go. Would like to see other people’s thoughts.
