Yep mine was dark brown and the difference with the new stuff in was quite considerable. Use a Gunsons Easibleed, it's £15 well spent and you can use it again in the future.

Litch:
The Easibleed is the way to go as it makes changing the brake-fluid a 1-person, 10-minute job.

I always replace the brake fluid at no more than 2-yearly intervals and often do it more frequently, it is such an easy job to do and old/contaminated fluid will make a lot of difference to your braking performance.
If the vehicle spends a lot of time covered in muck then get into the habit of cleaning the bleed-nipples at regular intervals, it saves a lot of cursing when they snap off due to being siezed in the caliper.
