In reading Radical Brewing and he brings this grain up a lot. This is the first I have heard of it. Anyone used it before and does it go by a different name?

It's pretty hard to find and I've never used it. Paul's makes a mild malt and Briess makes one called Ashburne. Those are the only two sources I know of. It's basically between pale ale malt and brown malt. Without actually having used it, I'd guess that it's a toastier version of pale ale malt.

I'd probably just toast a portion of my pale malt if I couldn't find this then.

How's that compare to Special Roast or Victory?

My LHBS had some Muntons Mild ale malt and I brewed a couple beers with it. A bitter and an EIPA. Neither came out very good and had an off flavor. I went to the store and grabbed a little out of the bin and chewed it. It was chewy and stale. That same partial bag is still in that bin and its been ~4 yrs. Sorry I dont have an objectve opinion on it.This stuff. https://www.annapoli...untons-mild-ale

It's basically between pale ale malt and brown malt.

Would a mixture of 50% pale malt and 50% brown malt be an approximation. Or maybe 60% pale and 40% brown.

I've used this for a few British styles and it worked really well in low gravity Brown Ales and in Porters. It is a nice way to increase the maltiness of British ales. It is essentially Munich Malt made from British barley.

I honestly couldn't tell you for sure since I've never tried it. My guess is that it's not as nutty as SR or victory malt. The 50/50 combo might get you in the ballpark but my guess is that the brown malt is going to have more toasty flavors that are more subdued in mild malt. Again these are just SWAGs since I've never used it.
