We brewed this to send to the AHA national competition. We did not move on to the second round, but it was pretty good for a first time.

Found this beer in Germany in Wiemar on hols in 2006. Loved it, very much Guinness-like, without that after taste back of the pallet effect - just plain smooth. This was my first all grain, without a full blown set of AG equipment. I did a single decoction using 1/3 of mash. Brewed at 11.5 deg C per WL instructions, took 3 weeks to get to 1022 and just stayed there. About 3 inches of sludge at the bottom of the fermenter - due over zealous sparge and not using right kit. Taste is quite close if I remember correctly. A beautiful flavoursome beer with a taste that lingers long after you put down the glass.
