Wanted something with lots of malt flavor for the winter, that wasn't a heavy RIS. Lots of chocolate and toffee notes. First batch was a bit thin at 3?V due to cutting boil short because of rain, but real tasty...
replace chocolate malt with Crystal 140 or Simpson Crystal Extra Dark. Simpsons Crystal Extra Dark imparts deep copper to rich amber hues to the finished beer and contributes strong crystal malt flavor notes of malty sweetness, caramel, and toffee.
A different take on a dark mild- a combination of mild, Munich & pale malts, subtly bittered with Magnum and EKG
