I was sort of going for an amber ale but I think it's a little too hoppy for the style.
860 grams of various types of hops - centennial, nugget, Columbus - divided into four 215 gram additions.
7 lbs Pilsner malt
2 lbs very old un-milled pale malt (first beer using my new mill!)
2 oz chocolate
4 oz crystal 20
8 oz crystal 60
Omega kolsch II yeast. Because I had been using it all summer and, why not?
I mainly taste green pepper in this beer. It reminds me of the 2018 Sam Adams coffee pale ale. It's not unpleasant but not really what I was going for. It might just be a feature of my hops because I feel like I recognize that flavor from prior homegrown hop beers. For that reason I don't think it's the roast/chocolate flavor from the small amount of chocolate malt in the recipe.
