• 7 lbs Amber Malt Extract
• 1 lb Black Patent
• 2.5 oz Cascade (AA 6.3) Boiling
• 1 oz Goldings (AA 4.1) Aroma
• 1 Liquid Ale Yeast

Preparation
Add Black Patent to 2.5 gal water and bring to boil. Let boil 10 minutes. Remove grains. Stir in malt extract. When boiling commences add Cascade hops. Boil for 60 minutes and add aroma hops the last 10 minutes.

Note: Normally you don't boil grains, but in this case you do in order to extract an extra "bite" in the brew. Trust me....
