I don't have the recipe with me but it is close to the following:
75% NW pale ale malt
10% crystal 60
5% flaked oats
5% pale chocolate (added at end of mash before collecting first runnings)
5% carafa III/midnight wheat (added at end of mash before collecting first runnings)
Bitter with Magnum to ~30 IBUs
OG ~1.054
SRM ~31
US05 yeast
I call it a "black ale" since I don't think it accurately fits into other categories although I used Robust Porter style guidelines to build it. I am going for something relatively clean with little roasted qualities for a darker beer. I have done other versions of this beer with a significant portion of special roast. I removed it because it seems to add a tangy character that I don't care for.
Any thoughts/input?
