Black Dog

Last Saturday I did a bit of a Tesco run and picked up a bottle of Elgood’s Black Dog Mild (3.6% abv) and I was quite glad I did. This mild is dark, thick, roasty and quite robust but doesn’t hold back on flavour which a lot of mild’s tend to do. The texture is rich and creamy with a head which persisted and left lacing down the glass, the balance is just about there too with the exception of a slight bitter kick in the aftertaste which adds depth and complexity to the beer. Overall I think I will pick up a couple of these in the future, as at 3.6% it’s a great session beer that won’t get you too smashed. This is one beer to definitely check out. Two thumbs up!
