This recipe is old enough that it doesn't fall into current styles. Bitter as an ESB, color is closer to a Mild.

4 oz. Crystal 40L
1 oz. Chocolate malt

Heat two gallons to 160F and steep grains for 20 minutes.

Boil for 30 minutes

1 oz. EKGoldings 5.0%
0.25 oz. Columbus 12.2%

Add extract and boil 5 minutes longer to sanitize.

How would you describe the taste? This looks very interesting with the 30 min boil.

The flavor is really nice. Bitter, with a low hop flavor/aroma. Solid malt backbone.
