Notes

Excellent winter beer. It's been such a hit, I have brewed it three years in a row, now. I tweak it a little each year, based on the type of Goldings I can find. The original recipe was for East Kent and whole. I had to use pellets this year, but this beer is not about the hops.

Toast the flaked Rye and Rolled Oats under broiler until golden brown.

Add orange zest, cracked cardamom pods and 1 cup of Cocoa powder at 5 min.

Additional 1/2 cup of Cocoa powder added to secondary.
