1 lbChocolate malt, cracked
12 ozCrystal malt, cracked
12 ozLactose

Yeast
7 lbAustralian light syrup

Sweet Darkness Preparation

Bring the wort to boil (water and syrup to make 3 gallons), then add crystal. Boil 10 minutes, then add hops. Boil 5 minutes. Turn off heat and add chocolate and black patent malt in a grain bag. Steep about 10 minutes. Sparge grain bag with about 2 gallons of boiling water. Add lactose. Chill and pitch. When fermented, try priming with 3/4 cup of light dry malt extract. This is based on Doug Roberts Mackeson Triple clone. This will be lighter than the real Mackesons with a lighter head. Very similar aromas and head retention. Overall a resounding success. One or two things Ill do different next time: Reduce black patent malt to 1/2 cup (crushed), add a bit of dextrin to increase body, and maybe add a touch of roasted barley. I recommend this to anyone who likes their coffee strong, with cream and sugar.
