La Petite Ourse

A couple of weeks ago one of my friend shared with me a bottle of Rising Tide's Ursa Minor which is an hybrid of a hefe and a stout fermented with a German wheat beer yeast.  I really enjoyed it and it has inspired me to brew my own.  For my version I opted to focus more on the chocolate roast and used munich malt instead of crystal to tie both end.  The chocolate flavor will be match with banana flavor from the fermentation profile.
