Tasted on 8/19/2014 by Scratch

Notes:

Dark brown color with 2 fingers of head. Great retention. Decent hop aroma with some malts. Roasted malt flavor that almost borders on being a porter. Medium bodied and smooth with a lot of carbonation. Not bad but next time use Light DME instead of Dark and cut Pale Chocolate malt in half. Also double the amount of hops used to dry hop.
