Strong Bitter Captain Hooked on Bitters (Red Hook Clone & Award Winner)

[herv]

made this on Super Bowl weekend, bottled for about 2 weeks now entered into a comp for judging on the 10th of april. taste is really pretty good just a taste of bitterness (good) but the flavor is off for what i was looking for, i will pry make this with either the addition of some sp malts ( victory, biscuit, etc..) or try same recipe with MO as the base. i used S-04 and mashed at 154 ferm was good @ 62 ambient temp, and was left alone for about 4 weeks b4 bottling. i really enjoy this beer thanks for another great recipe BM! when i get around to brewing with a change in recipe i will post again.

great beer easy for a BMC to enjoy this without thinking, "I don't drink dark beers"!! haha. .......... later

Any thoughts on using WLP 002 on this recipe? Also, dumb question, but the toasting of the malt happens before milling, no?
