Dark and desirable.

I'm not really a beer drinker any more (bad for the weight) but on the odd occasion when I do go down the pub, I always go for a pint of mild - or rather, I did, because my local has now stopped stocking it. It seems it just isn't popular enough any more - people all want gassy lagers or fizzed-up cask bitters. Stuff with little or no taste in it. Now mild has flavour, mild has character, mild has body - mild can be drunk cold or chambré and it's not overly alcoholic, so you can have a couple or three pints without any ill effects. So I'm on a mission to find somewhere else where there's still mild on tap.
