Notes

Added a couple of ounces of Carafa II to increase the SRM a little. I like my English Dark Mild to be more on the dark side.

I kegged this one a couple of days ago and it was just okay. It had a little too much burnt flavor, maybe from the black malt? Hopefully it gets a little better after a couple of days
