Notes

Malt was actually Hugh Baird, not in database. Beer started out as an ESB for competition, but did not finish in time. Added tea made from steeped dark malts to darken beer to range of a brown ale. Will see how it turns out.

Not very good

This experiment did not turn out very well. The color is correct, but the beer retained a "grainy" sweetness, like unfermented wort, despite sitting at room temp for over 2 weeks.
