Red Hoptober! Ok I googled it and I found nothing definitive. No one went from recipe to glass and said Eureka! Does anyone have a good all-grain recipe for this wonderful beer? Suggestions on yeast?
ABV - 6.0%
IBU - 60
Hops - Target, Nugget, Cascade, El Dorado, Centennial
Malts - Pale, C-80
Body - Medium
Aroma - A bouquet of lush floral, bright citrus and undertones of herbal and spice and airs of caramel kissed coffee.
Mouthfeel - Heavier start, hop bitter middle and definite crisp finish.
Flavor - A cupful of sweet fig, tropical fruit, toffee, roasted nuts and hoppy bitterness. None of which overwhelm, they simply meet in the middle to attempt balance.
Visual - Brilliant glowing flickering red hue.
RainyDay I have to admit when I got your post on my smartphone I dismissed it summarily saying "His palette is waaayyy different from mine!!" But now I am retasting it in my Sam Adams Bostan Lager glass and I see what you're talking about! I definitely taste the chocolate malt!

New belgium is pretty cool and gives the basics in the website

I really liked last years hoptober, not tried the new one yet. So far only seen it in folly packs, and I am the one guy who doesn't like fat tire.
Chumpsteak, I dont speak metric, but the recipe looks good nonetheless. Thank you for throwing chocolate malt in there; I pull a good amount of chocolate malt out of the beer, although they never confirm it. Unless the El Dorado and Roasted Barley are creating that. At the same time, they just recently added roasted barley as an ingredient, so something isnt adding up. A conspiracy I say!
