We have a community co-op that sells beer ingredients on a hit and miss basis with great prices. I go down every now and then and build a recipe based on what is available. This was the latest concoction I came up with. Sampled after a week in the bottle last night and it's quite nice. What beer style is this closest to based on my ingredients?

HOME BREW RECIPE:
Title: Poser Ale

Brew Method: Extract
Style Name: ?
Boil Time: 60 min
Batch Size: 5 gallons (fermentor volume)
Boil Size: 3 gallons

3.3 lb - Liquid Malt Extract - Light (41%)
0.75 lb - Corn Sugar - Dextrose (9.3%) added at end of boil

STEEPING GRAINS:
0.5 lb - American - Caramel / Crystal 60L (6.2%)

0.5 oz - East Kent Goldings, Type: Pellet, Use: Aroma for 5 min,

Thanks all!
 
It mostly depends on how dark the chocolate wheat made it. Not too dark = Pale ale. Darker = Amber ale. Even darker = Brown ale. Since you used both British and American ingredients you might call it a Colonial Ale.
