can you say how much of each flavor you notice? very complex and I'm curious how the maple, nutty, roast, or raisiny from so much C120 and Special B balance

Its really well balanced as far as the flavors go,not to nutty,not to sweet from the C120,but its better after about 3 months.Its an awesome ber I recommend you try it for yourself! You won't be disappointed!....B....

This sounds like a delicious homebrew, What was the mash temp and what kind of yeast did you use? Thank you

A mash temp would be most helpful, want to try this one

Judging by how high the OG is and how low the FG got I would say mash very low. Maybe 148 or so for 90 minutes. If you mash any higher I would think all those crystal malts could make it cloying.

Brewed this yesterday, found this morning the blowoff tube must have gotten clogged and the oneway blew off the carboy. Huge mess, basement smells like maple syrup, and after removing the cap to clean, its foaming out like a starsan snake. We hit the numbers, and it looks and smells good.
