I'm late to the party, but I like the concept. I just finished off a British Mild keg based on Cigar City's "El Lector". It was great, so my thought is to brew up a 10 gallon batch more in line with the concept here, but to split the batch between a couple/few different ale yeasts, including the 1450, the NW Ale and maybe a 1056...
Definitely peeking my interest, as a rarely push for anything much above 4.5% ABV.
