    I found my favouritist ever beer up norf, a. It was called Kirkstone Black, and is apparently a 'dark mild', whatever that means.

    Totes delish. Another good reason for retiring to the fells.

    'Dark mild', indeed. It's clearly a stout.

    Is there a difference? I know little of beer, as you know.

    I wondered if there was an Irish influence, as I drank 12 pints of it, went home, pissed in the wardrobe and savagely beat the wife and kids.

    Mild used to a sort of weak, dark beer that used almost exclusively to be drunk in the midlands. All the rules have gone out the window now, with microbreweries and similar, though, so I've no idea what's what anymore.

    I must say, though, that that looks more like a porter or a stout than the milds I've seen.

    There seems to be about a quarter of a pint missing from that.

    And Red Lebanese, Durban Poison and Acapulco Gold.

    A couple of years ago I bought a large lump of unnamed hash which came wrapped in an Afghan newspaper, which added a pleasing authenticity.
