I made an IPA version with some molasses.
Already i used a lot of woody, smoky hoppes -- but i think the molasses ended up predominating the flavor.
Recipe:
Amt Name Type # %/IBU
1 lbs Light Dry Extract (8.0 SRM) Dry Extract 1 10.5 %
8 lbs Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 2 84.2 %
8.0 oz Molasses (80.0 SRM) Sugar 3 5.3 %
2.00 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Boil 60. Hop 4 22.8 IBUs
2.00 oz Chinook [13.00 %] - Boil 40.0 min Hop 5 18.6 IBUs
2.00 oz Horizon [10.00 %] - Boil 20.0 min Hop 6 9.9 IBUs
1.0 pkg British Ale II (Wyeast Labs #1335) [124. Yeast 7 -
2.00 oz Willamette [5.50 %] - Dry Hop 0.0 Days Hop 8 0.0 IBU
I just ended up getting a really burned sugar smell -- and it isn't becuase i am doing a LME brew and my stove charred the ingredients -- i am competent enough to prevent it.
P.S. 4 weeks after bottling the harsh ash/burn flavor started diminishing and it is now quite decent...I still think i need to subtract molasses from my brews unless i am going for something specific...
