VERY cool. Thanks byes (Pikey for boys). With the tasting notes I think I can piece together something that is close. I need to find more tasting notes b/c that dude 'Stonch' says he gets charcoal and at the color it should be, its VERY hard to get that out of even the darkest crystal. Interesting...

I made this last year
viewtopic.php?p=44231&highlight=trial+brew#44231
First taste was on the train into Shrewsbury for the Beer Festival last September.
We then decided to try the Hobsons Mild (as it had just won the Camra Beer of Britain award) and were pretty amazed just how similar they were, the Hobsons was nicer but mainly because it had more life in it (mine had been taken from a keg into a 2lt PET bottle and gone a bit flat)
Good starting point if nothing else.

I did about the same thing yesterday.
5# Maris Otter
1# 75L crystal
.5# Chocolate - pale
The wort tasted quite good but there was no coffee or any other real roast flavors. Deep caramel for sure. I used the windsor yeast b/c its quite fruity so we'll see. I think next time I make this Ill half the crystal using 55L and 150L and then add maybe .25# of Black malt. I know its not Hobsons but I realy like my milds to have a touch of dark character. Thoughts?
