Sisyphus Chocolate Mild

Sisyphus Chocolate Mild Ale. 3.8% ABV. 16 IBU. Date: 10/28.

Clear, with a reddish brown coloring, ruby tinges, under a moderate tanned head, that slips away with time.

Malty nose. Not much from hops, Cocoa comes out first, caramel comes out from behind.

In the mouth, chocolate comes out on top, fairly dominating this classic, clean mild ale. Lean-bodied, well-balanced, and chocolatey. Nothing from hops, low alcohol, easy and breezy.

I respect mild ales, I admire them, and might even like them, but I don't love them. This is a nice one, with an appreciated chocolatey twist.

In other words, it's good beer and you can drink it.
