Youngs Double Chocolate Stout Clone

Double Posting in Extract Recipe section.

At this point I'd like to know what STYLE to plug into BeerSmith while trying to work up a recipe.

BeerAdvocate categorizes it as a Sweet Stout.

As we say in the islands, "Mahalo Nui Loa", or thank you very much.

I had brought up Young's in a thread a while back and was pointed to a beer here called 'Deception'. Sounds pretty tasty to me.

Just for you to peruse, I haven't tried it: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/deception-cream-stout-141483/

Good luck!

What is the pale malt for? I would think to either double them (for enough enzymes to do a partial mash) or drop them (as they don't add much flavor-wise).

They were in the original recipe that I modified. I got rid of some Dark LME and upped the Pale LME.

As we say in Boston, "You're wicked welcome!".

Ok, no we don't. But you are.
