Mashed at 158F for 75mins. Let ferment out for 13 days in Primary then bottled. Conditioned for 2 weeks in bottles at room temperature in a cupboard. Colour is classic pale bitter, smell is actually slightly too hoppy and I'd put the second addition in a little earlier when brewing again. Taste is exactly what I was after, full bodied and malty but with a nice bitter finish.

Notes:

The aroma is a little too hoppy but the taste is good. Malty, full bodied start and a good bitter finish.
