Ingredients:
------------
11.5 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2,0 SRM)
1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60,0 SRM)
1 lbs Caramunich Malt (56,0 SRM)
1 lbs Oats, Flaked (1,0 SRM)
1 lbs Special Roast (50,0 SRM)
8,0 oz Black (Patent) Malt (500,0 SRM)
8,0 oz Chocolate Malt (350,0 SRM)
0,50 oz Nugget [13,50 %] - Boil 60,0 min

1,0 pkg Belgian Witbier (Wyeast Labs #3944)
2,00 oz Galaxy [14,00 %] - Dry Hop 3,0 Days
Mash Schedule: Single Infusion full Body, Double Batch Sparge
Mash at 156,0 F for 45 min
NOTES:
This recipe is called "Unexpected Black IPA" because when I went back to brewing, I brewed the Port'O Palmer porter recipe, designed for extract + steeping without adjusting the hop additions. Consequently, a greater hop utilization resulted in an "unexpected" bitterness/hop aroma which I liked very much. This is the final version.
This beer is a bit of an explosion in your mouth. Malty sweetness, bitterness coming both from grains and hops (I LOVE Nugget and Willamette). Great mouthfeel and subtle fruitiness that complements well the Galaxy dry hopping. Belgian Wit yeast is the secret ingredient!
Give it a try and tell me what you think!
