well a dark mild is around 3%, I'm not sure any Belgian beer is even close to that
It's called a spial right Brian?
Mate looks like quite the occasion!
Ok so my recipe calculated SRM was 25.3. It's quite dark without backing light but if you hold it up to the light it's got ruby edges for sure.
I see yours Brian at 19.8 srm.
Just thought I'd point this out for any colour differences.
Hopefully I'll post a pic this arvo when I get home.

I love the dark roasted flavor myself
Here we go.
And through the light
This is tasting pretty good nice bready roasty aromas.
Anyhow that's 25.3 SRM for color indication.

This may have to be my next brew. Once the brewery is back up.

Hard spile first, then vent pressure and put in a soft spile. Then you get to where we were at in the picture of driving the tap assembly through the keystone.It's called a spial right Brian?

Done correctly, and no spills!

My plan is to brew this again in a couple of months, and if it comes out the same, which it should, I'll enter it in a national competition.

Ben, did you brew this a second time?
No not yet I've been laid out with a stomach bug wife says it's my Hombrew she's probably right not drinking enough lol.
Na I'm back on the mend now.
I will brew again just not soon
I do want to try a different yeast and some Chocolate malt in it and adding some dark sugar is still in the back of my mind

I ended up brewing this again for the second time last week.
It ended up being very popular at the shop and I loved it.
Should be great in the warmer months.
Cheers!

Late to the party but here's the dark mild recipe I used. It's the second Drew Bechum recipe I've done...his Genesse Cream Ale clone was a winner and this is shaping up pretty good if I don't say so myself..toffee and a stone fruit...plum-ish. I think the oats took care of any watery or thin mouth feel.

Head shots in a week or so; I swapped up the hops for fuggles and split the batch for yeast hence the mutt.

Here is what I’ll brew sometime mid June.
