Naylor's Pinnacle Mild
Mild is the 'Endangered Species' of the beer world. Back in the 1950's, approximately 50% of all beer brewed in the UK was Mild, in just over two decades that slipped down to 10% and the popularity of the beer style declined further until there was just a few breweries in the Midlands area producing Mild. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the style, it is a low alochol (~3.5% abv), dark (often dark brown or black) ale with a slightly sweet taste and a roasty finish.Naylor's Pinnacle Mild (3.4% abv) is a typical and strictly to style Mild which is surprisingly easy to drink. I was lucky enough to come across a few Milds recently at the Ealing Beer festival which was a god send in Mild startved London!
Naylor's is a small independent brewery located in Crosshills. Their Mild can be described as dark brown and malty!

Sounds very good indeed. I'll keep an eye out for that one.
Sorry to be a pedant but mild doesn't actually have to be dark, just a large proportion of them are. But not all.
True Paul - but if you enter a pale coloured homebrewed Mild into a comp (especially a BJCP one) you will get slammed. I also think there is a distinct difference between a UK style mild and say Coopers Mild - which is really a low alcohol pale ale.
