Ingredients (All Grain, 25 L)
- 5.6 kg
Maris Otter Pale
Maris Otter Pale
An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

White Labs WLP005 British Ale
White Labs WLP005 British Ale
This yeast is a little more attenuative than WLP002. Like most English strains, this yeast produces malty beers. Excellent for all English style ales including bitter, pale ale, porter, and brown ale.

A little taste of history

Racked to keg/bottles. This tastes pretty amazing. You'd think with all that black malt in there, as well as the brown, that this would be overpoweringly 'roasty'. But it is not. There is a good roast character, but it has a good backbone of malt sweetness and a rich flavour. Bitterness is well balanced - not as high as the beertools calculation gives I suspect. All round a great beer that should age well. fg 1.014
