I used the full pound of Chocolate and Brown Malt instead of the half pound of the recipe. I thought it'd turn out like a stout which I wouldn't care for much but actually it just made a real dark ale that tasted fantastic. All my colleagues that tried it said it was fantastic. 4 other brutally honest people can't be wrong and they are not the type so sugar coat it for my feelings. I'd buy this again after I try some more styles I want do try. Try this out if you like dark ales or even browns.
