Recipe sounds good, and probably very drinkable. I'm brewing a dark mild in a couple weeks. The original prototype went well, but I made a few changes. Here's what's in mine:

English 2 row
British Pale Chocolate Malt
British Chocolate Malt
Crystal Malt 120L
Roasted Barley
Carapils

Mash on the warm end (67-68C) to get a nice malty chewy wort, then that sugar will thin it out, so that you have bags of flavour, but a nice crisp finish without being thick and heavy.

Aleman hits the nail on the head

keep your hopping around 19IBU. Also use a good sugar, as it will add a flavour note. A modern dark mild, is a great style to play around with, and if your interested the Classic beers styles book "Mild ale" by David Sutula, makes great reading and is very informative on the style(I preffer this to the pale ale book in the series)

Thanks for the advice guys.
Will certainly look for the books you mentioned.
Enjoy your brewing.
