Appearance: soda like head formation that fizzes and dies down pretty quickly. Dark red and amber like hues.
Aroma: pretty nice. woody notes of ginger. dried fruit and subtle squash. orange. slight oxidative sherry-like notes.
Taste: a little too malty-sweet on the palette. Ginger present and spicy. Really nice. Sublte chocolate, baking spice and squash. Some subtle over extraction of tannin.
Mouthfeel: nice carbonation, nice body. A little too rich.
Drinkability and Notes; pretty drinkable. Alcohol seems on the mark. Main problem for BC is the sweetness and the tannins.
Changes for next time:
A little too sweet. Use a better attenuating yeast or brett (or consider keeping the yeast and cutting down on specialty malts). It will be interesting to compare the brett version.
BC likes the acidity. RJ wants to cut the acidity a touch.
Improve head retention. Wouldn't mind promoting a slightly creamier mouthfeel.
Be careful of tannins and reduce over-extraction.
