So what did I brew??

[ThomEHof]

This started as an ESB but somehow (cause I wasn't reading directions) added .50 roasted barley. So is it a Extra Special Black Bitter, a Porter, Nut brown, what do you all think. Had a nice taste.

Looks more like an American Brown Ale to me... Especially since you used pretty much all American/US grains in it...

You can call it whatever you like, since you're the one who brewed it... Maybe a Nutty ESB, or BESB (Brown Extra Special Bitter)... Could be a 'not so pale, pale ale'...

Just post up how it comes out when it's in the glass... :rockin:
