Tasting: Split batch with an American Stout. The American came out clean with no esters and no hot alcohol using S-05 yeast. The Foreign extra at racking day was extremely hot tasting and estery using Nottingham. Both were fermented slightly high temp in mid 70's as had a tough time controlling. Actually thought the FES would be a dumper after that first taste. Two weeks later upon bottling it had smoothed out tremendously. Still has a banana ester profile along with a deep roast backbone but the alcohol-hotness disappered. Ended up showing in a recent competition. While hopped at about 1/2 the American rate, this one actually tastes about as bitter.
