A simple Dark Munich Malt and LME with wild honey adjunct using German Hallertau Mittelfruh hops and active dry baking yeast! The result is an darkish amber beer that is delicious at room temperature or cooler, superb in cooking recipes (makes great beer brats), or just for having a nice drink or two. The finish reminds the drinker of a Guinness flavor but less bitter. It almost has a flavor as if the beer was stored in a wooden cask.

Tasted on 7/27/2017 by Bennu

Notes:

Wort tasted malty and slightly sweet after 2 weeks in fermentation vessel. Drinkable at room temp uncarbed! The aftertaste reminded me of Guinness but no bitterness. The color is a dark amber. This is a keeper recipe for me.

    I used Fleischmann's yeast as an experiment. It worked out great. Don't be scared - try it. I used about 1 Tablespoon of dry active yeast in 5 gal. I think the ABV is higher than stated in the details.

    I am cold crashing the wort prior to carbing it in a keg. I think the flocculation will be minimal and this will be a nice cloudy beer. The wort tastes great at room temp. I'll comment after carbing.

    This is more like a Scottish Export if you look at the style numbers.
