I halved this recipe to end up with a 5 gallon batch.  I had a carboy catastrophe which is detailed in our blog and caused the boil to be over 5 hours.  My OG was 1.110. I used Gambrinus Pale, Gambrinus Honey Malt, and Muntons Black Patent.  I used aromatic extra dark Belgian candy (not syrup) and generic dark brown sugar.

Gravity: 1.015

Thick and cloudy, high esters on the nose, alcohol intensity apparent in taste.  This beer just may have been saved (or at least partially salvaged).
