Anzac Day Brew 2010

[Effect]

I've been thinking about a different take on an "ANZAC Ale" (adapted from Radical Brewing's 'Oatmeal Cookie Ale').
An English 'nut' Brown ale with toasted Oats and Golden Syrup (maybe in secondary) to produce something reminiscent of ANZAC biscuits (Originally created to have a long-shelf life and keep well on the 2 month boat-trip out to the troops. Even if they did not get named as such until some years after the war).

7% Golden Syrup
7% Oats, Rolled & Toasted
61% Pale Malt, Traditional Ale
22% Pale Ale Malt, Toasted Amber
3% Pale Ale Malt, Toasted Brown
30g Goldings, (60 min)
20g Goldings (20 min)
London ESB Ale (Wyeast 1968)
24L, OG: 1.066

what a great idea. I have been thinking of doing that recipe for some time, but chickened out and just did the brown ale (no cookie). Think I might put this onto the to brew list, will have it ready for Anzac day 2011.
