2 Row Caramel 120L is dark. Not Tarantino dark, but still pretty dark. The more you add (up to 15%) the more burnt sugar, caramel, and raisiny and prune flavors you're going to get from it while adding a deep red color and improving body and head retention.

It is gently cooked during the malting process to produce glassy, crystallized sugars which will add sweetness to your final product.

Smooth and sweet, Goldings are recognized as having the most typical English profile. This hop is in demand for copper-hopping and dry hopping of traditional ales. Use Golding hops in combination with Fuggles for a time-honored taste. Kent Goldins are also useful for late hopping lagers, when a delicate aroma is required.

A great cask conditioned ale strain that produces distinctly malty beers, Wyeast London ESB Ale 1968 Yeast is an extremely flocculent strain that finishes sweeter than most based on it's attenuation level being lower. You will need to rest this beer due to the diacetyl, but after the rest you should be able to produce a bright beer with no filtration. Ales produced with Wyeast London ESB Ale 1968 Yeast tend to be fruity with the fruitiness increased as the fermentation temp increases, 70-74°F (21-23° C).
