A darker Dead Guy? If Dead Guy was a Munich instead of a Helles Bock? Whatever it is it looks tasty.

[MyaCullen]

it wasn't intended as anything in particular, the name comes from burning my hand on the keggle it is fairly close in style to Dead Guy, like you said a bit darker, and the Spec B adds a nice touch I think I am gonna like this one

Darn near a Sticke, bet I would like it.

believe it or not the original inspiration is an upscaled version of the LHBS Alaskan Amber clone, that I used to love making in my early extract days, it used Amber LME, Crystal, a touch of chocolate malt, Cascade and Saaz, with windsor yeast

I think this one will be better than that

It's on tap now, it's evident that adding whirlofloc to the kettle after flameout doesn't work oh well, it is nice to have beer on tap again, if a bit murky yet

But does it taste good? Was it what you expected?

pretty decent, needs to get a couple weeks of cold aging to really come to fruition, in character it really does resemble an Alt more than anything, Malty, Sharply bitter, little hop flavor to speak of

Ok then it goes into my recipe box

lol, I drank 2 pints if it last night, it just needs some lagering really

[MyaCullen]

hitting perfect stride now, I think the keg is about gone, it has to be considering how good it tastes
