Tasting Notes (2)

anjo

Tasted on 6/26/2017 by anjo

Notes:

Appearance: pours very dark brownish black. No head retention. Aroma: Clean. Subtle. quiet vanilla and kola. coffee. milk chocolate. Palette: tiny persistent bubbles (Ben likes it; ryan thinks we could dial back a hair); toasted chestnut; nice roastiness; lean and focused; drinks more like a nice focuses porter; coffee; chocolate; vanilla; caramel. Changes for next time: grist adjustments; maybe use floor-malted maris otter. Lactose can go up. Want our stouts to be more velvety and a touch fluffier; consider some wheat; add a serious amount of oats; add carapils for head retention.

Notes:

Nose: banana bread, caramel, chocolate, quiet cinnamon. Palette: Chocolate, roasted fruity coffee notes, very subtle cherry dark fruit. Finish: pleasant, roasty. Improve head retention. Soften edges. Carbonation is nice, could be one point higher. Could use a little more acid. Perhaps lower the pH a touch. Sweet and bitter balance is nice, perhaps a touch more bitter, either with roasted malts or hops. Experiment with dry hopping.
