Ideally suited for Scottish-style ales, and high gravity ales of all types.
Notes
The flavour is malty, but it's very nice and light. The 1728 yeast gives it a smoky hint and a bit of a sweeter finish. Cooper's is slightly woody and drier. Both are excellent, so if you only have Cooper's feel free to use it. I really love this recipe because it's easy to do with things you have left over. Light extract works well, if that's all you have. Any crystal malt works well. I think the chocolate malt is pretty important though. Ultimately, this is a malt driven brew, so try to use good quality tasty malt if possible. I'm told that the cool kids like to caramelize a Scottish wort a bit with a long boil or a heavy reduction of a small part of the wort (take a half gallon from the pot, boil it way down to a pint or so, and add it back). I haven't done this myself, but I'll try it on my next batch. Primary fermentation is over quickly, for me usually less than a day or two later. Secondary is fast as well, allowing bottling within two weeks easily.
