1/2 lb Crisp Roasted Barley
1/2 lb Crisp Black Malt
1/2 lb Crisp Chocolate Malt
1 lb Chocolate Malt
1.2 lbs Unprocessed Oats
12 lbs Amber Malt Syrup
1.5 lbs Dark DME
1 lb Semi-Sweet Bakers Chocolate
4 cups Espresso
1 oz Galena (at Boil)
1 oz Fuggle (B+15)
1 oz Willamette (B+50)
1 Wyeast # 1728 - Scottish Ale
Fermentation Schedule:
Brewed and primary - 09/10/04
Secondary and Bottled - Late Sept 2004
Label Notes:
This was an attempt to follow-up on the legendary Mimas Mocha Imperial
Stout. It missed. Probably just went too overboard on all the
fermentables, it is still carbonating 10 months later. It might
be really good by 2010. The semi-sweet chocolate was probably too rich,
and the oats might have been a bad call, I think I have since read that they
do not age well. Dione was discovered by Cassini in 1684, it is the
second most dense moon of the Saturnian system (after Titan), and it has
a mean surface temperature of -187 C. Brrr.
