- Tasting Notes
- Roast and chocolate notes. Malt forward but only slightly sweet. Only a hint of hop bitterness. Silky smooth finish.
9 lbs Pale Malt
1 lb 12 oz Brown Malt
12 oz Black Malt (not patent)
2 oz East Kent Goldings (6.4%) boil 60 minutes
1 Liter starter using WLP002 English Ale Yeast
Mashed at 152 for 60 minutes.
My intent was to brew a traditional, English Porter as a starting point to build up a modern, robust porter. However upon first taste I don't think I want to change this recipe much if any. The recipe is one of Ron Pattinson's historic recreations based on Whitbread brewing logs.
The color is a rich, dark chocolate. The head is dark caramel brown. The aroma is roasty and coffee-like. The flavor is much the same, roasty, coffee and chocolaty. It is has a slight sweetness but not too much. There is a hint of hop bitterness but again, not too much. I think I hit the Goldilocks zone with this one. And as soon as I finished the first pint I immediately wanted another.
I've attached the Beersmith .bsmx file for anyone interested.
