Very similar brew done a couple of days later....dark IPA with Williamette hops. To say I'm pleased with this is an understatement!!
Don't know if its relavent, but I've started fermenting at room temp in the kitchen, once fermentation has stopped, I just shift the FV to unheated garage and forget about them for a couple of months before bottling. These dark IPAs were started late august, shifted to garage after about 4 weeks (have all the details), forgotten about and bottled early Jan. This long lag really seems to have an impact on taste and quality. Very pleased!
