Time for a stout. I want to focus on the chocolate flavor on this one. Despite the low level of Chocolate malt, I find that CaraBrown provides a distinct chocolate flavor, so I will bump that up.
Grains: 2 Row for base, flaked oats and Millet and Kamut for body, Belgian kiln for maltiness, Carabrown for chocolate flavor, Midnight wheat for color, Pale Chocolate for flavor, lactose for body
Hops: Bravo for bittering and Mt Hood for flavor
Yeast: US-05 to showcase the malts
Pours black and 3 fingers of foam. Aroma is slightly sweet, toasted bread that ends with a slight yeast aroma. Flavor is nutty with slight coffee, almost a slight ash flavor, and then some yeast phenolic. Body is a little more than medium and has high nucleation sharpness. Overall, not too bad but I'd like a denser body and more nut and bread flavor, maybe some richer chocolate. I was going for chocolate milk and that is not there. 3 stars as I enjoy the beer okay but it is not what I wanted.
Comments
Scored a 31/50 at the Capitol Brewers Harvest competition. Feedback was that the body was too thin along with creaminess and sweetness.
