BJCP 2021 Style 34C Experimental Beer

This formulation is my interpretation of the recipe designed by David Heath (David Heath Homebrew) and Andrew Paterson (Lallemand) (Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O06lrpRODwE). The name is mine though :-) It utilises a very high mash temperature, some carapils to add mouthfeel, some unfermentable sugars and a low attenuating yeast. Also, high quality aromatic hops.

I did this version on my very simple stovetop setup - coolbox MT, stockpot, jug for vorlauf. Double strength grist (ie for 5l batch), liquored back to 10l post-boil.

Tasted at April 2022 meeting with enjoyment from all.
