| Tasting: | At bottling, beer is a tad hot still, but has incredible chocolate, coffee, & roast notes mixing with the boozy esters, and nice bitter hop kick (though no citrus notes as expected). Going to let age for a few months, but this one turned out nice. Update: now 6 months old and hotness is totally gone though there is an alcoholic punch to this one. While a nice beer that scored fairly well in comps (37), next time I think I'll bump the dark fruits and chocolate notes in the malt profile with additional Special B and Carafa to balance the substantial bitterness. |
