Notes

After 2 or 3 months of conditioning it has a decent carbonation level, front end sweetness is gone and has a nutty taste with decent body. Definitely not a red ale, came out dark brown but nice I would make this again as a brown ale, maybe try and improve head retention and increase carbonation slightly
