Next time I make this I'll probably use more crystal and more hops.

Ingredients:

4.5 kg Munton & Fison dark malt syrup
3/4 pound, 40L crystal malt
1/4 pound, roasted barley
2 ounces, Perle hops (7.5% alpha)
1 ounces, Willamette (4.6% alpha)
3 large garlic cloves chopped fine
1 ounce, Willamette for finishing
ale yeast

Procedure:

Steep crystal malt and roasted barley for 30 minutes in two gallons of water. Strain out and discard spent grains. Add malt syrup and bring to a boil. Add Perle hops and garlic and boil for 1 hour. Toss in Willamette hops in the last two minutes. Pitch yeast when cool.
