Just transferred this into the secondary corni-keg =) Can't wait to bottle it off and pass it out to friends! It has a very rich roasted flavor with the lactose sweetness tucked in the middle as well.

  • White Labs WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend

    White Labs WLP060 American Ale Yeast Blend

    Our most popular yeast strain is WLP001, California Ale Yeast. This blend celebrates the strengths of California- clean, neutral fermentation, versatile usage, and adds two other strains that belong to the same 'clean/neutral' flavor category. The additional strains create complexity to the finished beer. This blend tastes more lager like than WLP001. Hop flavors and bitterness are accentuated, but not to the extreme of California. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation.

Great Beer!

Creamy, dark chocolate with a full malty story to tell with a light hopping (not overpowering at all). It had about the same body as a Guinness, but not as chalky and burnt in flavor. The lactose did its part and kept the brew just slightly sweetened. If I were to do it again, I might add a more pale malt to bring the alc/vol up to about 7.5% or 8%. I think the added flavoring from the alcohol would only help.
