FG was 1.014. Higher than expected. Either the 8th generation Nottingham yeast harvest is losing its ability to finish lower or there was a higher degree of nonfermentable sugars.

You wanted an OG of 1.044. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Excellent beer. Pours with a tan 1" head that lingers. Roasted coffee chocolate aromas and flavor. Medium mouthfeel with a smooth bitterness that persists and balances the roasted malt. Slight biscuit and caramel flavor. Roasted notes linger along with a slight pepper spice.
