Ingredients:





     8 lb British amber extract


   1/2 lb Black patent malt


   1/2 lb Roasted barley


   1/2 lb Chocolate malt


     1 lb Steel cut oats


     2 oz Eroica hops (boil)


     1 oz Fuggles hops (finish)


          Whitbread ale yeast


   1/2 c  Corn sugar (priming)






 Crack  grains using a rolling pin. Add grain and oats to 2 gallons  cold


 water.  Bring to boil. Strain out grains. Add extract and  Eroica  hops.


 Boil  about 1 hour. Add Fuggles and boil an additional 2 minutes.  Steep 15


 minutes.  Sparge through sieve over ice. Mix. Rack to 7-gallon carboy and


 pitch yeast. Bottle when fermentation is complete (about 1 week). This was


 one of my best beers yet. Black, smooth and creamy. The oatmeal doesn't add


 a very pronounced flavor; I think it rather contributes  to the creaminess


 and smoothness, which is becoming more pronounced as  the beer ages. It has


 a fairly dark brown head,  presumably  from  roasted barley---creamy with


 small bubbles. This recipe was derived from several posted by Jay H. in


 digest #459. Original Gravity: 1.062 Final Gravity: 1.015 Primary Ferment:


       1    week
