Amazing. Just opened my first after bottling about a week or two ago. Mighty tasty.
1st batch or 1st beer of this batch?
Either way… :cheers:

First NB dark mild. No clue how many batches I’ve made. My homebrew club did a 100 gallon batch of dark mild 2-3 years ago, which we split into 5 gallons per member. Prior to that, I had never heard of the style. Only a few local breweries make them on occasion. The only commercial dark mild I can find Cain’s Dark Mild and is pretty pricy.
Dark mild is one of my favorite styles. I always brew 10 gallon batches of it because it goes so fast at 3% ABV
I might have to do that next year. Fortunately, I have a hell of a lot of beer when this one runs out.

Several years ago I had my first mild at a small beerfest; really liked it and immediately bought the mild style book.
I should get more style books. I’m a little too pressed for time at the moment and have several books to read at the moment.
About 1 week in, carbonation is already nice. Quick turnaround beer. I’ll have to be sure to order 2 dark mild kits next year.
