Style: 8C. Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale)
Description:
Straight from Jamil's and John's brewing classic styles
Made a few adjustments after tasting Fuller's ESB last night:
Added a lot more dark crystal to enhance caramel flavours, and many different hop types to increase hop complexity.
