Histon Rd Winter Warmer

We are studying medicine in Cambridge, England and are brewing a beer here. I usually do all grain in the states, but due to space and time, I am doing a partial mash. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. We are trying for a beer with a nice toasty malt character with good hop flavor to warm us up on those rainy evenings. (most of the time.)
