#16 of 1001 Brains Dark by S.A. Brain & Company

A few weeks ago I reviewed Brains SA and also discussed the differences between US and UK warning labels. I specifically requested this beer from London because it is in the book, 1001 Beers You Must Taste Before You Die (1001 (Universe)). This is the 16th beer in my 1001 beers blogging series.
Brains Dark is known as a mild. It was popular with blue collar workers throughout the UK until there was a decline in industry in the mid-20th century. The style has remained popular in some areas such as Cardiff home to the S.A. Brain & Company brewery. Brains claims the brew is the largest selling dark milk in Wales and was named one of the Top 50 Beers at the International Beer Challenge 2008.
Tasting Notes:
Pours a very dark brown almost black and creates a creamy head. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. There is slight smokiness mixed with more roasted and chocolate flavors. The beer is thinner than you would expect, but overall a decent dark mild.
