Notes

Full Disclosure: I like Drafty Kilt. It is not too sweet, not too chocolaty, not too bitter. Comes in at 7.2 ABV and is wonderfully malty. I went to Monday Night Brewing's website and they tell you what grains, what hops, and how many IBUs (26). I threw them in here and played about trying to get the numbers to work out.

Nottingham - 6.82% Middle ground

Variables: No idea how much Crystal or how dark. No idea about yeast strain. No idea percentages of grain. Color is 32 SRM

I added some components that are typical in a Scottish...
Chocolate Malt (Color), Roasted Barley (Flavor), Smoked Malt (Flavor). These additions nailed the color. I changed the yeast to Notty and that closed the gap on the ABV.

I want to give this one a brew. I'd LOVE to have this on tap!
