Tasted on 10/29/2021 by BeeBrew

Notes:

Dark Amber, lingering tan head, slight bready aroma. Good mouthfeel, flavors include initial strong malty taste followed by some sweet bread notes and pine, slight citrus hops and subtle fruity yeast esters.

Comments

    Brew again with half as much Munich malt for a more balanced flavor.
