I tried a Welsh dark ale (Celt dark age ale I think it was called) for the first time recently. I was really impressed with the flavour of this beer. Does anyone have a good recipe for a welsh dark ale?
I lived in Cardiff for many years and Brains Dark was the Dark of Darks, I'd guess the Celt dark ale is from a new craft brewery over there.
Tim Cooper, when he was over there, was impressed with Brains Dark and modelled Coopers Dark on it. Maybe try a bottle of that and see if it's to your taste. If so a similar version should be fairly straightforward.
