This sort of came up in another thread and I didn't want to post it there and take it off topic, to be honest.
But I've brewed Porters, Robust and Brown. The Milds I've had have been quite mild or too chocolatley, ime. "Dark Mild" is not familiar to me. I've spent a fair bit of time in the UK actually, with the service, but really don't recollect this style. Looking at a few recipes, it seems like a Robust Porter but low grav; sweeter than a typical mild? is that about it? Looking at the BJCP style for Mild encompasses Dark Milds, but that category is all over the place from bitter/roasty to malty/sweet.
Anybody have thoughts on the style? good examples? roasty, stoutish or sweet, porterish?
