Tasting: | This is a beer that homebrewers love. It possesses so many flavors, your mouth stumbles for a few seconds while it tries to process. I really don't like the maris otter, but with this boldness it works well.I brewed this on 8-29-09 and didn't taste first bottle until the new year, and it could stand to go a little longer. |
