Hi All,
My wife recently found Black Toad ale at Trader Joe's and is asking me to brew something very similar. From my research and emailing the brewery there are no recipes available. Here are the stats I have
OG: 1.058
FG: 1.018
ABV: 5.2% (The bottle says 5.3% but I measured the FG and Brix to calculate the OG.)
Description: "We begin with a custom mixture of dark and roasted barley malts, then we add the choicest hops. The resulting ale has a dark chestnut color and a deep nutty flavor."
Draft Mag Review

Batch Size: 5.50 gal
