Tasting Notes

Milk chocolate, spicy rye, very malty!

I have developed a real love for rye in beer, and I also really enjoy a good porter, so I'm not sure why this beer has not come about sooner, but it is here now and that's all that matters. This is my favorite porter, and maybe one of the best beers I have ever made.

.5lbs Flaked Rye

If you enjoy rye and porters, do yourself a favor and brew this, you will love it!

This looks awesome, I love rye. I brewed something similar to your recipe but wanted it more malty and better mouth feel, flaked rye and munich malt are both things I planned to add to it for next time. Did 1/2# black patent provide good amount of roastiness? I didn't use any in mine, but i think it would have been nice addition. Is this similar to DuClaw's Rye porter, though I think theirs is a bit stronger?

I've never tried Duclaw's Rye Porter this one is plenty roasty though it really hit it's stride at about 3 weeks in the keg. This also came out with a nice thick mouthfeel I really love a nice thick porter and this fits the bill.

Sounds great. I have almost everything needed but will need to sub the Black Patent with CARAFA as we can't get it here in Europe.
What was the color of the pale chocolate?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Mine is 170L so should do the trick.
Finally a nice recipe to also use up my Chocolate Rye.
Will probably be later Summer before I get to it though.
Now I just have to find a recipe (besides Wookey Jack) for my Caramel Rye.

Think I will try a different yeast strain, maybe WLP005.
I really like the flavour profile of that plus I have some under wort in a mason jar.
Also WLP002 is too finicky for me.

WLP002 can definitely be a pain sometimes, WLP005 Would be an awesome choice for this beer!
