| Tasting: | The color turned out to be more like 12 SRM - way too dark for a Tank 7 clone, If you're concerned about that then either use a lighter base malt or stir a lot to prevent carmelization. The maltiness really comes through - more so than in actual Tank 7. At 10 weeks, this seems to have peaked. Bottom Line : This turned out to be a really tasty beer, even though it missed the "Tank 7" mark. |
