Recommend Me a Beer Recipe

[SandorClegane]

First, I am an ale drinker. I like lagers too, but I prefer ales.

Second, I am and always have been a dork who is obsessed with all things medieval, and so would like something along the lines of a medieval ale recipe.

Third, I like my ales on the dark/bitter side.

Fourth, when I pour this into my medieval mug, dawn my ren-fest cloak, and sit back beside the backyard bonfire to drink, I want the beer to feel like something that some medieval knight would be drinking, lol.


Feel free to make fun, but also please recommend me something good!

Deception Cream Stout is pretty good, very dark, creamy, and I think would look good poured into a goblet.

You could find some "Old Ale" recipes as well.

medieval ale did not have Hops in it so it will not be like the Ales you are used to. Here is an interesting read and some recipies.
