Best Dark Mild?

Belvoir Brewery Dark Horse which is of course a reincarnation of Shippo's Mild.
Also; Elgoods Black Dog
Grainstore Rutland Panther
Welland Valley Mild
Mighty Oak's Oscar Wilde
Cotswold Spring's Old Sodbury Mild
Brewster's Cheval Mort (whenever they are brewing it!)
and lots, lots more
I had Tetley's last May-when was it discontinued?

 

I have enjoyed Bateman’s dark mild in the past, but it is like hen's teeth near me.

 

If you ever make it to Seattle I'll buy you a pint of my favorite, only available here:
Machine House Dark Mild.

 

I've not had many, but I was very impressed with Dark Munro



They do a terrific porter too

 

Black Cat followed kind of closely by Cains. The only 2 I've had from the UK.

 

Amen!

Wandering star mild at heart. Very underated imo

 

Bull City Burger and Brewery in Durham NC, brew pub only. A terrific Mild, lots of flavor at 3.7% ABV.

 

yards brawler

 

I really like Brawler from Yards Brewing Co. in Philadelphia.

 

Do you know, I thought the opposite. To me Bateman’s has a dark sugar taste, whereas a modern dark mild like Black Cat tastes of chocolate malt.

 

Oscar Wilde,
Brewdog Edge (not much chance of that returning unfortunately),
Partizan Mild,
SWB- Resistance (not amazing but at least it turns up semi-regularly).

 

Do they still make Tetley's Mild? I thought I saw it in a pub recently, but that could have been a hallucination. Obviously the brewery's gone either way (bloody Carlsberg).

I don't have a lot of experience with mild, but I had a pint of Black Cat yesterday that I enjoyed.

 

Dark milds in the past rarely used dark malts , the colour came from caramel and those lovely brewing sugars.Bateman's has been round long enough for this to be the case.
Back to Bateman's DM , a year ago a couple of our pubs removed this from sale, it was thin and you could see through it quite easily. Rumour had it that they had cut it to 2.8% for duty reasons, Jonathan Bateman told me this wasn't the case.I understand it's back to how it used to be now.

 

I've only ever had two in my life, but they were both good. One was Brain's Dark Mild (bottled) which tasted a lot like a German Schwarzbier to me. That's not a complaint, mind you, just something I found interesting. The other was Black Country Dark Mild from the cask at The Wellington in Birmingham. I was never actually able to make it out into the Black Country during my Birmingham visit, but that was a nice consolation.

Edit: Black Country's beer was called Pig on the Wall, maybe?

 

From the few I have had the opportunity to sample, Notch's Mild on cask in MA (when it was available) and Massachusetts Mild on cask from John Harvard's in Cambridge was also solid. Other than that, whatever I try from the UK during NERAX has been fantastic.

Wish we had more in Boston...

 

cheers

I've never had any Forest Brown to be honest, I just found a forest brown beer mat (I used to collect beer mats for some reason) and though to make an avatar out of it. I understand it wasn't very good?

I do homebrew but have some horridly modern beers to brew first Although I have enough saaz to do a nice, hoppy, historic scottish ale
