WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Trying to bring some of the malt bill charecteristics from darker belgian ales and add them to a belgian pale ale strength bill.

Went with belgian abbey yeast instead of belgian ale yeast to get slightly more subdued yeast character, but still ester production.

Light chocolate might be a bit too dark for the rest of the beer
