Years ago, just after I left school, about 20 years ago (I'm not only a Fat *******, I'm heading towards "Old" as well!) I had a mate from school who's dad was into homebrewing ancient English ale recipes. I remember he did one that contained a chicken carcass. From what I remember (it was a long time ago) it was malty, dark and had little hop character. Apparently the chicken carcass went into the boil, and not the mash. I suppose if anything, the gelatine from the bones may have worked as a fining agent. The beer certainly didn't taste "chickeny"! It was quite pleasant from what I remember, and he wasn't pulling out legs about the chicken.
Has anyone heard of such a thing, or even better, have a recipe?
Cheers, FB.
