1554 Enlightened Black Ale (23A) - EXTRACT Homebrew Ingredient Kit

Brewed this for my sister (she's a big 1554 fan). Currently in a secondary. Judging by the taste from my hydrometer sample tube, this is gonna be a great clone. Very nice color too. Will leave another comment when finished. Used the White Labs Southern German Lager 838 yeast.

This was the first batch of beer I purchased from AHS and I've been buying ALL my kits from them and continue to brew beer that keep my friends asking for MORE! A friend let me try his 1554 at a bar and the next day I was googling for recipes. I make a batch at least two times a year - love to keep some in stock.

Not a dead on clone, but an excellent beer. Everyone likes it a lot. I received Coriander instead of Paradise Seeds so that might have made a difference. Plan on making this again to find out. Again, excellent beer.

My wife said this is the best clone I \'ve ever made and she can\'t wait for me to make it again. Let it mature and it tastes as smooth as the real thing.

Did this as a mini-mash and made a yeast starter. I'm really shocked at just how close it is to the real thing. Will be brewing this again (and again)!
