Which Version?

Out of all of your versions for this beer, which was the most successful and which is your favorite?

by timlael

Version 1.3 was my personal drinking favorite. 1.5 is pretty damned good too, but a lil higher gravity and I mashed a bit high, so it has some residual sweetness. Not bad, but the hops are a touch out of balance. 1.052 with slightly less than 40 IBU seems to be a sweet spot for this beer. The malt on 1.5 is on the toasty side, 1.3 less toasty. Carabrown is a cool malt that adds a unique toasty character. Version 1.5 with half the carabrown and mashed at 149-150 with 1.5 oz/5 gallons dry hop for 7-10 days would probably be spot on. Replace half the carabrown with a crystal 40/60 mix and carafa II to color as needed.
