Notes

Clone of Cast Iron Brown Ale from 4 hands@ St Louis,MO. My wife loved it --so happy wife, happy life.

Reviews says obnoxious amt of choc and roasted barley --so doubling as starting point from basic recipe.

Update --It is very good and easy drinking-- It could go even more Choc and barley, but I am a newbie to the all grain brewing so I tend to error on the side of continuing to be able to drink my own beer. :)

Ver 4.4.2020 -Increased Choc and Barley, backed off 2-row and going to try German Bock yeast WPL-833
