You're essentially just steeping the grains. There are few starches left in black patent malt so I don't think protein haze is an issue. My Irish red was very coppery, almost orange and crystal clear.

Wacko? Tried it, not a big fan. I do like how they try different things, but this is not one I would try and emulate.

Yep that's the one. Haven't had it. Bought it in a variety pack, but passed on them.
