Notes

Aiming for a tasty, stylistic representation of a Dark Mild for potential competition.

I started from Sundowner Kid's White Rabbit Dark Ale (https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/744059/white-rabbit-dark-ale) which was a delicious, unexpectedly hoppy yet authentic representation of that beer.

From there, I've toned it town to meet the standards, changed the base malt to sneak in more toasty sweetness and selected some more casual hops.
