I have brewed this beer nearly a dozen times to hone in on this relatively simple recipe. The two types of caramel malt give some nice color but also contribute a complex flavor profile of caramel and dark stone fruits. The dehusked carafa II adds a deep ruby hue. The carapils helps to form and maintain a dense, lasting off-white colored foam cap which laces down the glass, but does not make the beer too full-bodied.

The dehusked Carafa is also known as Carafa Special
