From Brewshop's Beer Making Book - 52 seasonal recipes. Doubling batch from 1--> 2 gallons with some mods. MODS=added cooked blueberry compote-similar to Blackberry Red Ale recipe in same cookbook; also added some orange peels. during bottling, I will likely add 48 hr. cold brewed coffee (28 oz.) and possibly homemade vanilla (2-3 T.).

Notes:

DARK! Incredibly smooth, still has time to further carbonate - this is fairly early at 2 weeks, bourbon flavor is subtle. Wonderful mouthfeel, I anticipate a slightly bigger head next time BUT it hits the style -not supposed to be a frothy beer. Best one I have made yet!!
