BREW NOTES:
- Fine mill lead to stuck sparges. Had to clean and re-try each time. Use rice hulls next time!!
- DID NOT DO SECONDARY BOIL!!!
- Somehow... naturally fermented. Maybe in the pills? Wild berliner I guess. Noticed krausen but didn't check gravity. Added yeast and nothing much happened. Saved trub for yeast recovery.

TASTING NOTES:
- Pre-yeast pitching, base tasted pretty solid! Truer to berliners I've had commercially.
- Post fermentation, also tasting nice. Aroma could be better.. but taste is on point.

BOTTLING NOTES:
- Key lime.. pretty damn tasty. Strong key lime aroma but subtle key lime tartness. Complements the other flavors nicely. Still may need to cut back just a touch on the key lime next time.
- Mixed berry is more sour than fruity.. but delicious! Has a nice color and aroma but not as fruit forward as expected.
- Blended the Espresso and Strawberry Shortcake.. and was absolutely the right thing to do. Best of both worlds! Might be my new favorite of what we've done...

Notes: pH was on the money using the calculator in the program and my water info.
Tasty's recipe calls for West Yorkshire yeast. I had English ale yeast and it works fine. Final gravity was 1.015
This is BIAB method. Pre boil gravity was 1.038, Post 1.046. Don't know how to enter actual vs estimated.

Notes: Overall Impression:
A luscious, sweet, malt-oriented dark brown ale, with caramel and toffee malt complexity and a sweet finish.

Aroma:
Moderate malty-sweet aroma, often with a rich, caramel or toffee-like character. Low to medium fruity esters, often dark fruit like plums. Very low to no hop aroma, earthy or floral qualities.

Appearance:
Medium to very dark brown color, but can be nearly black. Nearly opaque, although should be relatively clear if visible. Low to moderate off-white to tan head.

Flavor:
Deep, caramel or toffee-like malty and sweet flavor on the palate and lasting into the finish. Hints of biscuit and coffee are common. Some fruity esters can be present (typically dark fruit); relatively clean fermentation profile for an English ale. Low hop bitterness. Hop flavor is low to non-existent, possibly earthy or floral in character. Moderately-low to no perceivable roasty or bitter black malt flavor. Moderately sweet finish with a smooth, malty aftertaste. May have a sugary-sweet flavor.

Mouthfeel:
Medium body, but the residual sweetness may give a heavier impression. Medium-low to medium carbonation. Quite creamy and smooth in texture, particularly for its gravity.

Comments:
Increasingly rare; Mann’s has over 90% market share in Britain, but in an increasingly small segment. Always bottled. Frequently used as a sweet mixer with cask mild and bitter in pubs. Commercial versions can be pasteurized and back-sweetened, which gives more of a sugary-sweet flavor.

History:
Developed by Mann’s as a bottled product in 1902. Claimed at the time to be “the sweetest beer in London.” Pre-WWI versions were around 5% ABV, but same general balance. Declined in popularity in second half of 20th century, and now nearly extinct.

Characteristic Ingredients:
English pale ale malt as a base with a healthy proportion of darker caramel malts and often some roasted (black) malt and wheat malt (this is Mann’s traditional grist – others can rely on dark sugars for color and flavor). Moderate to high carbonate water. English hop varieties are most authentic, though with low flavor and bitterness almost any type could be used. Post-fermentation sweetening with lactose or artificial sweeteners, or sucrose (if pasteurized).

Style Comparison:
May seem somewhat like a less roasty version of a sweet stout (and lower-gravity, at least for US sweet stout examples) or a sweet version of a dark mild.

Vital Statistics:
OG: 1.033 – 1.038
FG: 1.012 – 1.015
IBUs: 15 – 20
SRM: 22 – 35
ABV: 2.8 – 3.6%

Commercial Examples:
Harveys Bloomsbury Brown Ale, Mann's Brown Ale
