Tasting Notes
Nice roasted caramel flavour with a hint of plum and raisin.
After finishing a few kegs of Orfy's Mild Mannered Ale (which began a long adventure through the history of Mild Ales, including making some historical recipes) I decided to see how it would taste with some dark crystal malt in addition to the caramel flavour of the 60L. The initial keg turned out so well that 3 more followed quickly, 2 of which were consumed in a single poker night. It's not very often you won't find a mild of some sort on tap or in bottles at my place. This recipe is almost always on hand.

* The Carastan Malt is Crystal 60L.
