It is quite nice, a very middle-of-the-road porter: nice flavor, not too heavy. Interestingly, it is essentially a "use the leftovers" recipe. The Northwestern Extracts were available at a great discount from the local homebrew shop when you purchased more than some amount, and all the rest of the ingredients were remainders from previous batches. The name is a testimony to my current employer, which has recently been purchased by a major competitor.

Ingredients:

3 1/3 lb. Northwestern Gold Extract Syrup
3 1/3 lb. Northwestern Amber Extract Syrup
1 lb. DARK brown sugar
3/4 lb. Crystal Malt (approx 60 deg.)
1/2 lb. Chocolate Malt
9 HBU Bittering hops. boiled 60 minutes. I used:
- 1/2 oz 4.8% Tettnang pellets
- 1/2 oz 7.7% N. Brewer pellets
- 1/2 oz 5.8% Kent Golding pellets
1/2 oz. Hallertauer pellets for 10 minutes
Wyeast #1084 Irish Ale Yeast
