Taste Notes
Hopped up scotch malt. Very balanced. A very creamy mouthfeel with hints of peat.Notes
Mash at 152-155 F. Sparge at 170-175F to reach 5.5 gals. Boil 60-70 mins. Add Challenger 60 mins, Fuggles at -30 mins, NB for -15Mins. Add Irish Moss at last 15 mins. Primary 4-7 days at 72-74F, Secondary additional 4-7 days at 68-70F or until FG is stable. Cold condition for at least a week, with 2 weeks being a better CC. The body is very malty and has a strong hop taste that just gets better with age. Carbonate 2.4 volumes to lessen hot alcohol notes.
At first, I thought this was over-hopped. As time passed, the beer mellowed into a very drinkable brew. Recommend an additional week of cold-conditioning. Still my most popular brew with my friends. Drink lightly as the alcohol is high!This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
