Default Just drank a one year old mild!

Let's be honest, it wasn't anything to write home about. It was like drinking a black mexican lager though because of the color, lightness and low alc. I wouldn't try to age a mild in the future and didn't mean to on this one. It was a keg I had at a friends and he stopped drinking after I gave it to him, so it sat in the fridge under pressure for a year.

The malt had fallen out, the sweetness was gone and it was thin and dry. I had a pint and then was finished. Just thought I would pass it on!

haha, I have a six pack of mild's that are a over a year old. Quite different with some age on it. I like to chill one down when entertaining beer guests and say "Tastes not good, huh?".
