Notes:

Bottling Day - Fresh off the tap was a good chocolate / cherry / oak nose. The flavor profile followed that, maybe a little heavy on the oak. Could be the low mash or gypsum added, but the oak felt a little too prominent and flavors a little to sharp & crisp. Going to exclude the gypsum and mash 2 deg higher for the next batch. Poor head retention, adding chocolate at the beginning of boil next time. Overall a pretty enjoyable porter for my first batch, no off flavors just need to develop the recipe. I have bottled a few for aging both in the keezer and out, hope to see how the flavors mellow over the next few months

Notes:

One of my favorite beers yet. Great flavor, and still young. hope to see additional melding of flavors throughout the next few months. Going to bottle a few when carbonation is dialed in to store. Possibly a bit thin, might try a 151 - 152 mash next time with the Chico yeast.
