I'm sticking with brown again this year - was going to do an oyster stout big time got in the way. Which brings me to the next confession.... Could not fit in an all grain day
oh well life goes on and I'm
Sure this beer will be tasty.
Doing a smoked brown with a good chunk of dark crystal, hoping to get some nice burnt sugar and toffee notes.
400g dark crystal
100g Carafa II
100g peated
60g roast barley
3.6 light malt extract
18g northern brewer for the boil
Windsor yeast.

I think the proof is in the bottle and I'm sure your beer will be fine. You should have not told us till the day after we tried it.

Fantastic beer. I was surprised at how smooth it was. Could use a touch more of the smoked malt. I think I may have to replicate this.

Great beer Jonathan, very easy drinking with nice flavors and balance. Got that nice hint of peat as the beer warmed up.

My Dad likes it. I do too. Fruity esters and some smoke on the nose. Nice roast flavours with a balanced amount of smoke. Good job Jonathan!

I slacked for a couple of days but am drinking this now. As others have mentioned it's a solid beer. Mostly got the smokiness on the nose along with some esters. Well-made and enjoyable. Thanks!

I can't pick up the smokiness but really enjoyed this beer. If you had said it was all grain I would have believed you. I've only done a few extract batches in the past and wish I could make them taste like this. Must be the full wort boil or late extract additions. No home brew twang here. Thanks for the large bottle and excellent carbonation. Really enjoyed this.
