Any suggestions for my next batch?

I'm bottling a 5.5 gallon batch soon, thus freeing up my bucket fermenter (its been holding the Dark Crystal batch). I have big plans for some ambitious big Belgians coming up, but before I tie up my primary bucket again for months at a time, I want to brew something more sessionable. I was thinking something dark, roasty, yet not cloying or sweet. Too hoppy is out too as many of my friends aren't into getting their faces blasted off with dank hops (too bad for them!). I want to keep the abv between 4-5% so this one will finish relatively quickly. Any ideas?

Maybe an English Mild might fit the bill... can anyone point me in the direction of a good recipe?

I am brewing the Eagle Rock Solidarity Clone on Wednesday, sounds delicious! Should be a quick turnaround as well.

Orfy's mild mannered ale gets a lot of love, I am looking to brew it next month or so.

Great idea thanks! I started ordering ingredients for the mild, but then I went temporaryily insane and ordered the following... I guess it is not going to be so "mild" afterall! But should be a good roasty fix. Here is what I picked up (luckily Brewmasters is measuring out and crushing all the grains!)...

3 lbs Briess Golden Light Dry Extract
1 lb Simpson's Golden Promise
1 lb Maris Otter
1 lb Wyerman Cara Aroma
.5 lbs Wyerman Chocolate Rye
.5 lbs Crisp Chocolate Malt
.25 lbs Crisp Roasted Barley

Yeast: Nottingham

Hops: 1 oz Fuggles at 60M, 1 oz Fuggles at 10M

At an estimated 4.8%, it should be quaffable without putting one on the floor. Its only calculating out at 19 IBU's...do I want more hops to balance the roast? I dont want to go too bitter (especially with the roasted barley in there).

Also, what do I call this? Are we in Porter territory, or is this a Stout?

Also, between the chocolate malts and roasted barley, will this give me the intense roastiness that I am craving? Cheers!
