A "kitchen sink" beer to use up older malts; overloaded with caramel malts but hopefully balanced by the bittering hops. Piggy-backing on Gemutlichkeit Leicht's Kolsch yeast but fermented at higher end of the yeast's temperature range, hopefully for some mild fruitiness. Produced 5.75 gallons @ 1.054. Final (corrected refractometer) gravity: 1.012 (~5.6% abv). Bottled with 118g sucrose.
