Recipe: The Black Russian

Style: 12C. Baltic Porter

Description:

This was my first and sadly to date only go at this style.
Managed best of show at Vicbrew 2007 so not a bad drop all things considered.
Mash @ 67C ( Note actual mash temperature was lower, due to process error,
probably more likely about 63C ).
