Hi Seymour,

Have you seen this article https://http://home.comcast.net/~wnevit ... s/mild.pdf

There are several grain bills within it.

I've had dark Irish ales similar to this, but it doesn't strike me as very mild-ish.
Crouchvale Blackwater Mild
Pale Malt: 94.7%
Roasted Barley: 5.3%
I tried this brew last year. It looked like a stout, very black with an off-white head, but the taste was actually really hoppy in true Crouch Vale style :-)

Even though it was very dark, it didn't strike me as overly roasty, but it had a really smooth body.

I asked Crouch Vale what hops they use in the brew, and they said that use either Challenger or Boadicea.

I'm planning a Dark Mild, so will give this grain bill a go, but intend to use Simcoe as my hop.

Cheers

Its like a scaled down Guinness without the flaked barley and half the RB. I'd call it a mild dry stout.... :-)
