Brewer's Notes
OG.61 FG.16 IBU's 39.5 5.9% ABV Sacc rest 90 mins @ 68 degrees then 20 mins @ 78 degrees. 90 min boil. Nice choc/coffee after four weeks in the keg. Drinking now at 4 months plus and Vicelore and myself love this ale. Great mouthfeel and subdued chocolate flavour with alcohol evident. Funnily enough very easy beer to drink. I can't stop at just one. Must make again. Ingredients as per the Sierra Navada website.
