- Tasting Notes
- Mildly sweet stout with a little oak
Soaked 1.5 oz of Heavy Toasted Oak Chips in about 1/2 cup of Jim Beam Black Bourbon for about 1 month.
Ingredients:
6.6 lbs NW Gold LME
.5 lb Honey Malt
.5lb Roasted Barley
.5lb Chocolate Malt
.5lb Crystal Malt 40
1lb Flaked Oats
.5lb Flaked Wheat
1lb Brown Sugar
1084 Wyeast Irish Ale
2 oz Fuggle Hops
Steep all grains @155 for 30 minutes and rinse bag with hot water
Bring to boil, remove from heat and stir in all LME
Place back on heat and add 1 oz. of Fuggle Hops
Boil for 30 minutes and add 1oz. of Fuggle Hops
Add 1lb of Brown Sugar at flame out
Cooled to 83 degrees and added yeast in primary
Primary @ 70 degrees for 3 weeks
Secondary - Added 1.5 oz of Soaked Oak Chips, sat for 2 weeks @ 67 degrees
I've had it bottled since Oct 26 and the first one i opened about two weeks ago when a buddy came up. So far in my amateur opinion, it kicks ass. I think the body could be a little heavier, but i think the flavors are right on track for what i was shooting for. Maybe a little sweet for some, and next time i'll try for more body and more coffee tones.
My Beersmith demo ran out, so I'm not sure of IBU or official color, but I think my alc% seems to be about 5.65% and I was trying to make it a bit higher, so more LME or grains I guess.
--After letting it age for another month or so, I like it even more. The bourbon and oak are very mild, but add a little complexity and sweetness. Doesn't seem as sweet now, just mellow, malty, and smooth. Reworked the numbers and got IBU around 28, SRM around 32.
