one of three I found online - seemed the most promising place to start - some mods already needed to hit a style, but this is already big, red and bitter

Tasting Notes (2)

Tasted on 9/27/2016 by pwelsh

Notes:

Better than bottle, but still a bit of the yeast coming through. Also tasting the thin alcohol notes rather than a sweet roundness. I think the yeast went too far for this style, perhaps too warm on the ferment.

Tasted on 9/22/2016 by pwelsh

Notes:

Bottles tasted after 10 days. Not as sweet or bitter as original, has the high alcohol, yeasty thinness of many homebrews. Deep red and slightly "plumby/raiseny".
