St. Peter's Mild
Cask: Regular; Bottle: Cold filtered.
Has been brewed at various strengths between 3.6% and 4.7%
A classic example of a beer mild in hops but not in flavour. Sweetness balanced by bitter chocolate malt to produce a rare but much sought after traditional mild.

Despite the fact this beer is watery with very low alcohol ...this is a decent brew. Soft and creamy mouth feel, delicate carbonation. Aroma is mostly nuts, bread skin, some little coffee and grains. The flavor is filled with juicy malts. Good grain backbone, almost toffee and coffee like. Very easy to drink and satisfying. Will come back.
Cask at the Fat Cat, Kelham Island, Sheffield. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin broken white head. The aroma is red berry fruits, sweet malts. The flavour is moderate roasty bitter with a light watery roasty malt, liqourice, light hop bitter palate. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Black color and minimal head.
Toasted malty aroma (coffe).
Medium Bitter taste and long finish.

(2) Not worth trying. Why? It was just not good. It was sour and unbalanced - maybe a bottle gone bad?
Cask in the Jerusalem Tavern with Fletcher. Deep dark brown in colour, white foam. Full tasting, nuts, chocolate, prune. Decent level of bitterness. Goes down very easily. Good mild.
Cask at the Jerusalem Tavern, Farringdon. Dark brown with a light tan head. Sweet/sour malty scent. Light and sweet taste, borne forward with sesame, bamboo and chocolate malt flavours. Inconsequential but it’s a mild so I’m ok with that. Certainly enjoyable for what it is.
Bottled. Pours a very dark red-brown, almost black, with a small, light brown head. The typical St Peters aroma of bread and yeast, but with strong malt too (chocolate, molasses, some coffee.) Dry and smooth in the mouth with coffee and a fleeting sweetness in the middle. Good.
Marrone scura, limpida, con riflessi color caramello; schiuma beige di media persistenza.
Aroma caramellato, nocciole, caffè, liquirizia.
Al palato sempre caramello, nocciole e caffè, tostato amaro predominante, leggermente acidula.
Corpo medio-leggero, poco carbonata.
BOTTLE 50 CL. Dark brown with ruby highlights, small beige head. Strong malty and caramel aroma with slight hints of spicy hops. The body is light, drinkable and almost devoid of carbonation. Dark caramel with enough roast and spicy hops to balance the sweetness and give this simple beer enough complexity. Well done.
Dark brown colour with a light brown head. Rich chocolate aroma. Black Chocolate and roasted malts with berrie notes. Balanced taste, low carbonation and low 3.7%.
Cask at gbbf 2015 day 4. Caramel brown coloured pour with no head. Aroma is nutty fruit and but, light dried fruit. Flavour is nutty, berry, toasted grains, . palate is light and low carbonation, OK.
Beautiful 500ml US-style medicine bottle, St. Peters sampler D&M. For a 3,7% ale, very rich with roasted, chocolate and woody malt subtleties paired with spicy berry and orchard hops. Satisfying textured mouthfeel for the abv as well, whilst going down easy like café frappé. Hints of treacle, hinting at savoury flavours, then mostly mild indeed chocolate syrup, noisette. - Did not realise "Mild" was a dark style, but if these are supposed to be sessionable porters like this, I’d be happy to consider an on-site crash course in this underappreciated traditional style.
Bottle in the Sweffling White Horse, Suffolk. Mahogany with a thin cream head. Not much aroma. The taste is malty with toast and toffee and treacle. OK.
Bottle at Boban place in Vranovo-Serbia. Tasting. Pours a dark brown clear with a medium ivory foam. Nose: leather, dust, smoked, roasted malts, bacon. Mouth: watery but in a good way, frizzy start, nuts, roasted barley, clean and dry end. Best mild by far.
Dark brown reddish color, small beige head. Aroma of caramel, malt, burnt sugar, notes of chocolate and spices. Taste has similar notes plus hops in mildly bitter finish. Thin body and soft carbonation. Quite drinkable.
Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a semi - transparent bronzed brown color with a rapidly dissipating film of a white head. Barely any lacing stuck around the glass.
The smell had a decent sweet maltiness about it with an underlying cooked chocolate.
The taste was somewhat sweet through the malts with a light malty aftertaste leading to a dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat pretty light on the body with a good sessionability about it. The carbonation was good but mainly kept it’s distance from how it felt on my mouth, in other words, this was exceptionally smooth.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good mild ale that I would have again preferably with its respected food.
First mild ale to try. Very drinkable beer. Nice and smooth, Taste of malt and some spices, a bit of coffee.
Bottle at Stuu666’s. Pours ruby brown with a thin, short-lived tan head. Aromas of light chocolate and nuts. Taste is light sweet. Thin body. Finishes thin.
Bottle at home. Pours light brown, nose is light chocolate roast, taste is dry, roasted, light sweetness.
mild nuts, toast aromas from a black body with red tinges, thick creamy white head. tastes is as the aroma prepares you but with a creamy cloying coffee aftertaste. pretty good for its strength.
Buona Ale come tela immagini. Color rubino ambrata. Profumo dominante di malti. . In bocca ben bilanciato
Hardly there aroma. Looks like night in a glass. Little frothy head. Quite metallic for what I was expecting
Cask at the Jerusalem Tavern, London on 2nd July 2014. Deep ruby with thin dying laceless ring-and-film. Malty aroma with mild delicate spicy notes. Malty liquid with burnt caramel, berries, spices and resins. Finish develops a fine bitter theme. Smooth yet engaging texture. Well-crafted mild.
Shared by martjoobolut, thanks! Clear ruby red, tan head. Nose is roast, bready malt, metallic hints. Flavor is roast, caramel, coffee, nice hoppy bitterness in the finish, Not bad for the ABV.
0,5L bottle. Pours brown-ruby with off-white head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is mild roast and chocolate. Taste is roast, caramel and watery. Overall: decent for non-hoppy low abv brew.
