Notes
  1. should have been 12lb Maris Otter
  2. Black Malt subbed for Black Patent
  3. 'Molasses' is sorghum molasses, added with 15 minutes left in boil. Subbed for Black Treacle
  4. Wyeast yeast did not work; had to add Nottingham dry yeast

    Taste is more bitter (hops) than expected. Not sure what, if any, flavor the molasses added
