Hear me out. The idea is an old ale style beer with smokey characteristics, a slight mostly flavorless heat, that sort of tastes like biscuits. It has to have good digestibility (as the Trappists say), thus the sugar and low grain bill, while still having plenty of complex flavor.
Not sure what spice to use for a flavorless heat, hoping to fill that gap through your feedback.
Now critique please.
