A different take on a mild?

[Bionicmunky]

Not brewed for ages, need beer as tesco et al is too expensive.

A 7 day mild comes to mind,..... but I like loads of hop aroma..... cascade, amarillo etc.

so I give you :

That looks like a truck load of chocolate malt in what is meant to be a relatively low gravity beer.
Personally, I think it would be overpowering. I'd drop it back to about 100 to 150 gr tops, or substitute about 250 gr of Caramunich II. If you really want the dark colour, try some Carafa Special I or II.

Otherwise, I think it looks good.

I brewed a mild/bitter earlier this year to about to OG 1.045 with 22 IBU and WY1968.
It was very malty, gorgeous and delicious, but could have done with a little more bittering.
