Just a heavy mash with some chocolate malt and crystal, brittish yeast BRT101 (RIP Alzymologist Oy, but I still have the Library). Takes time to mature, couple weeks after bottling it still asks for more bottle aging (hopefully few years) but already nice and mellow. Dangerously drinkable, for its ABV.

It's naturally carbonated with teaspoon of sugar (not really yet), OG 1100 FG 1036 (at bottling). Thus about 9%. This beer survived heat wave (we should have bottled it sooner but it was so hard to do anything). It tastes super malty, balanced with powerful bitterness. Most of hop smell comes from lightish dry hopping. Like creamy bread.
