Best Dark Mild?

It was Maclay 60/. Dark Munro now. Have loved Highgate Mild too.

 

Wish I could find any here in MA. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear it.

It used to be a frequent guest at the Rose and Crown a few years ago- I used to love it and also their Bitter is outstanding.

 

Which this style was more common where I live.
Quite liked Toccalmatto Working Class Mild & Revelation Cat Milk Mild.

 

I've only had one example of this style. I would give it a B. Eagle Rock Solidarity.

 

I can only recall having just one representation of this style: Copper Creek Brewing Co's (brewpub) in Athens, GA in June of 2011. One of the most solid, sessionable beers I have ever had (and maybe "the" most). It appears they do not make it anymore.

I need to seek out more of these.

 

Eagle Rock Solidarity is a good one if you're in the area, but my favorite American Dark Mild to date was Anchor's Mark's Mild. It is a damn shame that they only brewed it the one time, and I let their reps know that every chance I get. This is one of my favorite styles and I've been tweaking a homebrew recipe that I'm pretty damn happy with.

 

Mallinsons Emley Moor (3.5%) is a fine beer. Superbly Bottle conditioned, with a surprising hop bitterness. It's almost impossible to drink this slowly. It's the best bottled dark mild I've had.

Wandering Star in Pittsfield has one and I think People's Pint in Greenfield makes one. Not sure where you are and we New Englanders hate driving.

 

I'm still waiting for the great cask Mild revival. The fact that it hasn't happened yet must surely be a threat to civilization as we know it.

 

I like Timothy Taylor's too.

 

Here's the thing. Think of all the milds you've had and how many have really been poor or disappointing?? Me, I can't think of a single one.

 

As if I even have a choice. I don't. I pick up a case Yards Brawler whenever I pass thru PA

 

Rudgate dark ruby mild on cask. Great Yorkshire brewer

 

Wandering Star's Mild at Heart - on tap
Goose Islands Mild Winter

Both are quite delicious and really hit the spot.

 

Any of the UK folks ever had this one? Thoughts?

 

Eagle Rock Brewing Solidarity Dark Mild

 

I've just had a Thwaites Nutty Black (3.9%). The last one I had was unpleasantly sour...but this one was very nice; an unusual wild strawberry taste, and a fair few hops in there (the label claims it was lightly hopped, it's actually quite highly hopped). A bit fizzy, but this is far superior to the last bottle I had! £1.39 a bottle. I'll buy more! I don't think Yard's Brawler is imported...

 

Yards Brawler is an excellent dark mild beer. I prefer it on cask but it is also tasty on regular draft and bottles.

In the recent issue of Zymurgy (March/April 2014), Brawler was evaluated by 4 Grand Master+ BJCP judges and it received high scores from all of the judges. They also thought it was an excellent beer.

Cheers!

 

Dark Munro for me
