Loosely based on Mother's Brewing Winter Grind. Mash high if American Ale yeast, lower if English Ale yeast. I've had a hard time with this beer overcarbing, so I tried steeping the ground coffee at the end of the boil this time (01/28/2025), rather than adding to the secondary, we'll see how that effects the flavor and carbing of this beer. I can add some cold brew if I feel the beer needs it when I check the gravity.

Nice beer, clean ferment, a bit under carbonated, but with a finishing gravity of 1.016 I expected a full-bodied beer, it seems a bit thin and not rich like I was hoping. It's good, nice bitterness and coffee flavor but If I brew this again, I'll add some carapils to round it out a bit.
This beer tastes great, however it overcarbed even with the small amount of priming sugar used. Rich chocolate and coffee notes, very clear, great head retention, and nice body.
