Into The Mild 2026 – Abbeydale : Dark Mild, restoration Series (4.0% ABV)

Hi there fellow beer lovers,

Welcome back to Into The Mild, the series where we celebrate one of the UK’s most underrated beer styles. Spotting a Mild out in the wild always feels like a bit of a victory these days, and this latest one turned up in a cracking setting. Church, the House of Fun down in Sheffield.

Name: Dark Mild, Restoration Series

  1. Brewery: Abbeydale
  2. Aroma :  Slightly Smokey scent, and a tiny bit of malt
  3. Appearance : Dark chestnut brown, slightly cloudy with a white head when poured that quickly became a white film.
  4. Body : Very still, smooth and very easy drinking.
  5. Taste : Very gently taste, it had a light smoked coffee quality with a little malt at the back.

This was a very respectable offering of a mild, however after the punchy few I had a before it, it seemed quite lacklustre. I really liked the coffee like quality it had going, but I am going to stick to a nice West Coast for the rest of the evening.

Our overall rating: 3.0/ 5.0
