    Can someone advise what beer style I have just made? Wanted to make an ale with little roasted barley for color. Ended up using too much accidentally. :(

    22 Litre batch

    Pale malt 4 kg 500 g 92%
    Roasted barley 400 g 8%

    Mash at 68℃ for 60mins

    Magnum 5g @ 60mins
    Chinook 7.5g @ 15mins
    Chinook 7.5g @ 10mins
    Chinook 10g @ 0 mins

    OG 1.053 IBU 30

    Ferment with Nottingham @ 15℃

    Looks like an amber ale to me. Roasted barley is probably around 300l. At 8%, that's a lot of color. Might even be a brown. I make a pale ale with about 5% crystal malt at 75l. And my ibus on that beer is about 25%..Don't worry about style too much. Just worry about what you like and dislike in the beer, and determine the style later.

    A black "pale ale". Some sort of session American stout?

    I'll say a semi-dry amber ale since nottingham has a med-high attenuation and you used magnum for bittering. However, the scarcity of the hops could lean towards a brown ale. ¯\_(ツ;)_/¯

    Hmmm. The color is quite dark to be an Amber ale...
