It's darn tasty!
I'm calling mine a "SMaSH" with quotation marks because I know many wouldn't consider my recipe to be single malt. I used a little cara-munich to keep it from drying out too much. Here was my recipe:
10lb 12oz Light Munich (10SRM)
8oz Cara-munich (56SRM)
1oz Saaz @ 60 18 IBU
1oz Saaz @ 30 9 IBU
Safale K-97 (German Ale)
Got 82% efficiency on this one:
1.063->1.016 for 6.1% ABV
It is a nice dark amber color, almost ruby, and has a very sweet malty flavor with a crisp toasty malt finish, medium body, and is very clean on the palate. It is easy to drink a few of these in a row. It has given me a very clear understanding of what munich malt brings to a grist and it is generally what I had expected.
