Beer Style: Brown Porter  (12A)
Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 US gallons

Brown Porter

Description:

A very tasty , full-bodied porter that belies its drinkability at 4.2 ABV. The specialty grains give this ale a very full-bodied malty character and a distinct peppery finish; the dark DME produces a beautiful black ale with a sturdy tan head. This ale is deliberately not hoppy and comes in at 38 IBU. Despite the full body, this ale comes in at only 208 calaries per 12 oz. This recipe scores 5 stars from this Porter lover.

This recipe makes 5 gallons (2 cases) of ale.
