Notes

Don't add candi sugar until flame out to prevent scorching. Use a hop spider to help dissolve this.

Beer came out exactly as the numbers given here. Probably due to me giving the mash a lot of attention.

Notes are - Plum, fig and raisin. Big toasty malt aromas. All of which translates into the flavour with a little mild spicy note from the coriander and Perle hops. I am really happy with this and will brew it again.
