Notes: The sharpness of the Citra and Centennial hops work off of the bright characters of the Rye grains. Adding in the chocolate and black prinz help's round out the mid/back mouthfeel while adding that bitterness from the grains to shadow the hop bitterness.
You can dry hop this with Citra Cryo hops (1oz per carboy) for 5 days. I've done this in the past but am trying a version without doing that this time due to time constraints (needing this for an event in 2 weeks). |

Notes: Brewed on Valentine's Day, with my "sweetheart" and wife of 33 years!
Made with fermentables "on hand."
6 days in primary at 68F; another 6 in secondary at 72F; racked to keg and pressurized at 25 psi at 55 deg. F for one week. Now in the cellar at 5 psi for serving. Drinking at 55 deg F, but might experiment with a tad colder....
Original gravity was 1.063
Final gravity higher than predicted - 1.022 (ABV ~ 5.3%)
Malt forward, even "sweet", with late mild bitterness; just a suggestion of of the Saaz used as a dry hop during secondary. Full mouth feel and dark color make one think of a porter or even a sweet stout, but with slightly more hop character. The rye is in the background. An enjoyable dark beer that doesn't quite fit a typical style. |
