Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale™
Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale™
One of the classic ale strains from the Northwest U.S. Breweries. Produces a malty and mildly fruity ale with good depth and complexity.
Notes
We took inspiration from American-style foreign stouts for this recipe, combining high bitterness and gravity and an intense roasted grain character to make a pitch-black ale that can't be ignored. Strong, dark roast coffee with a shot of hops and background notes of tar, dark fruit, and carmelized sugar in the nose, giving way to a big mouthful of malt, roast grain, and more hops with a lingering bittersweet finish. Uses Summit Hops for bittering but couldn't find those on here so I subbed Warrior Will brew on 10/20/07
