Brewer's Notes
I have made a lot of smoked beers but i have finally nailed the ballance on the head. This beer ballances the smoke with fantastic german maltiness, a touch of sweetness and a touch of roastyness. Its smooth, easy to drink and very satisfying on a cold winters day. I got 82% efficiency on this beer with a slow sparge and a fine crush. Has a creamy head that lasts till the last drop in the glass. Very happy with this one!
The specs at my end were 1.062, 35 IBU, 36 EBC. (was aiming for about 1.056)
