Notes

Heavy on flaked oats for the silky body the style demands. Chocolate and a small roasted-barley charge build the dark grain layer; crystal 60 fills in raisin and toffee. WLP002 drops fast and leaves a soft fruit ester for that English pub-pour character.

Brewer: Add rice hulls — flaked oats turn the mash sticky.
