Damn that looks good!
I can never get that nice white head on a dark beer.
What's your impressions?
I was thinking this would be nice on cask giving it a creamier mouthfeel.

Really happy with it! Plenty of body, it doesn't drink like 3.4%
The roast has underlying coco and coffee notes, but nothing harsh or bitter
It finishes with a light brown sugar flavor.
A total crusher!
Thanks for the inspiration Ben!
 
I'm going to have a go at this one Ben so I tweaked it for what I have in the garage.


FERMENTABLES:
2300 g - Maris Otter (72.1%)
300 g - Crystal Extra Dark (9.4%)
300 g - Wheat Malt (9.4%)
120 g - Roasted Barley (3.8%)
120 g - Vienna Malt (3.8%)
50 g - Black Malt (1.6%)

Plus some rice hulls to offset the wheat sticking the sparge.

HOPS:
15 g - East Kent Goldings, Type: Pellet, AA: 6, Use: First Wort, IBU: 13.94
10 g - East Kent Goldings, Type: Pellet, AA: 6, Use: Boil for 15 min, IBU: 7
10 g - East Kent Goldings, Type: Pellet, AA: 6, Use: Boil for 0 min, IBU: 5.12

Should be good one. I think I will put in a keg and some clear bottles. Now to work on a label.
 
this is what I have here, I'm only worried about the crystal 150, seams to be too much harshness will come from that
Pale Ale
Caramel / Crystal 150L
Melanoidin
De-Bittered Black
Flaked Wheat
Roasted Barley

changed it a little

Oh that sure does sound like a winner and one that might make it into your regular yearly rotation maybe.
Glad it worked out for you :)

I like the use of melanoidin malt that's unique but should provide some unfermentables for sure and body for this lite beer.

Looks like a goer Alan I will use Marris Otter next run on this beer.
 
@The Brew Mentor , that looks really nice! When I do get back to brewing this will be near the top of my list! As I have reduced my alcohol intake, and have been embracing lower ABV beers, this one would be right in my range!
 
reason I asked is the recipe srm is not the same color as your beer, I thought maybe you changed it
 
It's got beautiful ruby highlights and looks lighter if I hold it up to the light.
