Notes: If you're not from USA, and the northeast at that, Otis Spunkmeyer used to be a brand of cookies found in various locations. The idea was your store would get the dough, and a little oven, and with little effort you could pump out the most amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies, all warm and gooey. This beer is a love letter to those days. Shooting for warm, biscuity, bready malt body, with notes of sweet chocolate, vanilla, and a bit of coffee/toffee/other "dessert" notes from the secret weapon, Black Treacle. Speaking of which, for the wort, DON'T actually use American or Black Strap molasses, but instead Lyle's Black Treacle, from Amazon. Crazy good stuff. Loads of flavors.

Let the primary fermentation run it's course (shoot for 14 days on the trub), and then let it sit for seven days on a slit open vanilla bean in a secondary vessel. At packaging (I'm using a corny keg), add 16 oz. of Ghirardelli chocolate syrup. Dark beers being mysterious, you'll get a bang for your buck aging and conditioning this, the longer the better. That said, that treacle works wonders, and after only one week (21 days in primary and secondary, and 7 to condition) you'll still have a surprisingly complex dark treat. Between that, the chocolate malt grain, and the lactose sugar to leave residual sweetness, you should get a nice chocolate effect to go with the malt. Hops should balance this malty, chocolatey treat for these last chilly days before summer and its sours, wheats, and IPAs...

Notes: The Maris Otter is cold smoked for two hours using alder wood
(whole, not krushed)
Let the malt breathe for 1-2 days before mashing. It is best not to store the smoked malt long term.

The finished beer should be fined with gelatine and racked off the kveik sediment.

For a modern twist, add:
10g Cascade @60 min
50g Cascade @10 min
25g Cascade dry hop

Notes: Summary: Light, dry hopped vienna lager.

Batch-size adjusted to my fermenter. Estimated boil size assumes 6 L evaporation pr hour.

Style:
- Color: The color is a bit lighter than the style traditionally is.
- Perceived malt aroma & flavor: The style is traditionally characterized by malty aroma and light malt sweetness with a light toasted malt character. The toasted character is not expected in this brew as the malt has not been treated at sufficiently high temperatures. The taste should be a bit sweeter than normal.
- Perceived hop aroma & flavor: Usually, it will be very low to low, but I expect it will be high due to the dry hopping.
- Perceived bitterness: Low. pH is at the low end to accentuate the clean and crispy character.
- Fermentation: Low DMS, diacetyl and fruity esters is aimed for.

Mash:
- The diastatic power should be sufficient to allow self-conversion.
- No protein or beta-glucan rest is needed.

Fermentation:
- 10-12.8 degrees is recommended for WLP940. It will start at 10 degrees and increased to 11. A diacetylrest will be applied. This should ensure low to DMS, diacetyl and fruity esters.
- Due to the use of dry hopping and because it is a lager, the beer will be cold crashed and lagered for two weeks.

Hops:
- Use of dry dopping. Limited to 15 grams for 2 days. To avoid moving too far away from the typical style character of being to the malty side, the dry hopping should not overshadow the maltiness; not too much at least.

Other ingredients:
- Whirlfloc will make proteins coagulate during cooling, thereby avoiding haze and increasing how long the beer will be able to last. Add 5 minutes before end of boil.

Water choices:
- The starting point is the style 'medium lager (amber)' from the book Water.
- The sulfate/chloride ratio is low to emphasize the maltiness.
- Residual alkalinity is lower than usual for the style - the color of the beer is lighter and so the pH would not become low enough if residual alkalinity is not lower than usual. pH in mash is aimed to reach 5.30.

Notes: Although the malt extract used is lighter than is typical for a English Brown Ale, the molasses and lapsang souchong contribute to the colour significantly bringing it in line with what you'd expect for the style.
