Carbonation:	I use 2/3 cup brown sugar, it adds some unfermentables and a slight molasses flavor
Tasting:	Came out very smooth with a substantial beige head that stood ~1/2" above the glass!!! The malt profile was pretty one-dimensional, so I'll add some crystal malt to future batches to round it out a little.
