Typically, Crystal Malts are used in brewing to add both color and sweetness.

  • 1tsp Irish Moss -10 min left in boil (omitted from calculations)

    Irish Moss

    A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.

  • Wyeast1084Irish Ale™

    Wyeast1084Irish Ale™

    Slight residual diacetyl and fruitiness; great for stouts. Clean, smooth, soft and full-bodied.

About what I expected. I would call it a Rye Brown. It was beer for the sake of being beer.
