Smaller batch to be brewed mid-October and matured until Christmas for the family. Not fined in the end. When primed for bottling boiled a cinnamon stick with 3.5oz of white sugar to add in.
Best beer I've made. Really tasty, full bodies stout with sweet, rich almost chocolate biscuit tastes really nicely balanced with the bitterness. Everyone who had it, loved it. Great beer.
