So I was on a kick of using what I had on hand, trying not to buy more. This beer came out with excellent body, and delicious chocolate flavor. Not cloying sweetness, but a bit on the sweet side. For yeast I wanted to use up a smack pack of London ESB WYEAST I got at a discount from MrB. It came to me expired (no wonder it was discounted). I brewed this before doing the viability math and tossed in a 2g packet of BREWDEMON yeast just to be sure, since I wasn't seeing trub. Next time I would just use BREWDEMON's yeast.

Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain.
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies,
Come to life and fade away:
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.
– Edgar Allan Poe
