After secondary and going back through my recipe, I substitued 1 oz. of Chocolate malt for the Cara-pils. I found that it gave me a more rounded mouth feel. I have tried this recipe both ways and like this one better, but if you are trying it with cara-pils you will not be disappointed.
Totally Awsome
