This was quite tasty. I did a high gravity brew to get 15 gallons, and we blew through a keg at our block party. I'm happy with it. I think I used a couple different yeasts.

Thinking I may do up 10 gallons before long. Really like the look of the grain bill though ill like sub Victory in for the Special Roast.

I really recommend trying special roast if you can get it or have it on hand.

I recently purchased 10lbs of it from NG. Used some today in my Vanilla Bourbon Porter.

No rush at all. I won't be brewing this for a few weeks yet likely.
