Tasting Notes

June 6th, 2017: 1.026. Flavour has mellowed out a lot and become more balanced. There is still a harshness and imbalance to the beer, but it has come a long way since we last tried it. There is a tremendous amount of complexity in this beer: smoked, roasted, molasses. The molasses still lingers at the back, which I am sure will fade with time. We will add a vanilla bean to this on June 8th.
