    What will bring the effervescence,

    Who will add the needed factor,

    That the beer may foam and sparkle,

    May ferment and be delightful?”

    This will be a good vehicle to show off the honey, so pick a variety with a pleasing and delicate aroma and a pale color. The honey will add a nice aroma and cut the thickness of the wheat.

    This was concocted by my original brewing partner, Ray Spangler, and me. Wheat softens this burly brew, giving it a chocolate milkshake flavor and texture.
    As with all wheat-based beers, it does not bear long aging. Use caution when drinking; this is one seductive beer.

    Northern Brewer (7% AA)

    10 min
    Santiam (6.5% AA)
    A standard infusion mash (one hour at 152° F or 66.5° C) will work, but you may get more creaminess if you do a protein rest at 122 to 131° F (50 to 55° C) for twenty to thirty minutes. A ninety-minute boil is recommended. For the smoothest taste, use debittered black malt if you can find it.
    Use your favorite yeast, but avoid anything too wacky so the simple flavors can shine through the darkness. I like the Fuller’s strain of ale yeast for its malt-accentuating qualities. Lager yeast would also do nicely with this one.
