Dark Mild in the month of May

Dark Mild was brewed recently to celebrate CAMRA's campaign for Mild in May. And what a pleasure to brew, and drink it. I couldn't resist throwing in a generous quantity of Chocolate malt alongside Maris Otter Pale, Dark Crystal and Roast Barley. And maybe a little heavily hopped for the purists, despite good body and sweetness, but i like my hops so there you go...It went down very well at the CAMRA AGM in the Green Dragon, Workington, and has proved equally popular at the Bitter End -down to the last firkin in the cellar...so get it while you can.

Suggestions for brews of other much maligned beer styles gratefully accepted, and you never know what might be the next special.
