This is my house beer. It normally comes out to 3.8-4% alcohol which for me is a nice session beer. It has definite roasted character which I also like, I think it is similar to what Guinness USED to be.
I find it turns out the best with WLP007 (Dry English Ale) over WLP004 (Irish Ale). I must admit I only made it with WLP004 for quite a few batches - but it is much drier if you use WLP007.
