Ingredients:

3–1/2 pounds, dry light malt
1 pound, crushed crystal […]

Overall, Dark, Clean, with lots of yeast esters, fruit esters, and floral hop aromas above the strong bittering, and less powerful burnt notes and fruit acids. All this on top of a very large mouth feel. Needs to age for several months, (at least) to reach peak.

Ingredients:

1 pound, Vienna malt […]

Ingredients:

15-1/4 pounds, bulk light extract
3/4 pound, roasted barley
3/4 pound, black patent malt
3/4 pound, chocolate malt
2 […]
