Hahaha. When you get to my age Dutto, waking up is a suprise
I loved the comment "It smells like beer!"
I hope you never get to know the feelings of sorrow, frustration and remorse when it doesn't!
I have seen a recipe for this or something similar, was it sweet and strong?View attachment 22987
West Indies porter. Has anyone tried making this
Can't stop thinking about Mild ale now so, have got to jump the queue of my planned beers, I don't like the astringency roasted grains bring to an ale, though it does fade with time.I kind of have a 'feeling' about mild (in its many guises in history) - it's a working man's drink that was brewed in bulk to be enjoyed in bulk. So I want to perfect it using simple methods that sort of fit with that feeling. Don't get me wrong, it isn't that I think is should be rubbish or substandard, but fantastic in its simplicity. If I was brewing something a bit more grand, or fancy, like an imperial whatnot or something, then if happily embrace cold steeping but I just don't think it suits the style. It's probably a daft theory, but that's the great thing about home-brewing, you get to be the mad eccentric owner of your own brewery (but without putting a while workforce's livelihoods at risk!)
Back in the 80's we used to go to a pub where the miserable as sin landlord would pour you the slops if you weren't careful!

I will brew a pre 1950's mild which were generally made without the roast grains and do a 2 week grain to glass brew.
