Mild, Mild, Brown, Brown
This is a clean out the cupboards brew. I have an assortment of adjuncts and a soft spot for traditional English Ales. So here is a mild, which is actually on the endangered species list in it's homeland. Mild malt is the only thing I don't have, but I think it'll be good anyway.
