An addition of Weyermann Carared and a hint of Roasted Barley should give this ale a nice red/amber color as well as an upfront maltiness. The finish will be strong with the addition of 1oz of centennial hops at the end of the boil. I decided last minute to add 2 more ozs Cascade to the recipe and will keg hop with it. Didn't change the IBUs but should add some aroma and Cascade hop flavor. Still waiting on "Hopolyptica" as it is still actively fermenting. I need a hoppier brew for my buddies arrival. We will see how it goes. Homebrew Style Guide puts this one at an Old Ale.
