I like that "Imperial Cream Ale", perfect.
Yeah, I am going to order a couple of those and see. I'm still thinking they will need something for body, not just sure what yet. Now I leaning towards a pound or so of 80L crystal, maybe carared, thinking that because of color. My memory of Old English 800 had a bit of reddish/gold tint, then again OE 800 might have removed some of my memory (LOL).
Still going to use Kveik, no need to wait too long and/or baby-sit temp wise, something that's just a buzz source. I'm enjoying a 6% dunkel wisse that I had to baby sit, temp wise. It turned out great,, but well,, it was a goal of a different sort.
Every body has a reason for making what they do, I don't strive so much to match a style or a "clone". Sure, I'm a say, wheat beer fan but I still want it to taste how "I" want it to, not judged by others idea of what it "should" taste like.
What really puts sand in my crack is some people will bastardize a style with 3 lb. of hops, some obscure fruit or some other addition and say it's the "bomb". Then they turn around and blast those of us that want to to make a beer that's just a high ABV of the most widely sold style in the world. Don't get it.
Yeah, been drinking,, (carefully steps off soap box)
Brew on,
