The syrup is delicious!  It has an intense black coffee and chocolate flavor to it.

Imperial stout?

So, the first thing I'm gonna make with it is a dark patersbier.  Been intrigued with that idea since it was brought up.  8.5 lb. Best Heidelberg pils, 1 lb. D240, hopped to about 25 IBU with Hallertauer.  Imperial Double Triple yeast, which I suspect is like WY3787.

This is still not going to be very dark, is it? Beersmith tells me 40 EBC.

Yeah, that's about right.  I'm only using 10% syrup so it doesn't get too much flavor from it.  But it's a LOT darker than "normal" patersbier.

In my house, it is always that time.

What's on the list to brew first?  I have to imagine something simple and clean so you can get a clear picture of what 240 brings to the game.

All Pils and a lb of two of the syrup?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.  I'm intrigued by the idea of a dark patersbier so I think I'm gonna go in that direction.  Then use the yeast for a Rochefort like thing.

Recently made a Rochefort with home made syrup  Came out really nice.
