This has really come together after a few weeks in the keg- initially I sensed a 'rubber' taste on the backend that bothered me & worried me that I had some sort of 'infection'. After several weeks in the keg it is completely gone and the nice coffee flavor is at the forefront. For me, it seems the sweetness is just a tad too high- I would back a few oz. of lactose out of the recipe when brewing again.
Nice kona/coffee smell and taste. Would bump up the roast from the malt on my next brew session with this & maybe back off the lactose a bit.
