Aroma is of piney and earthy hops with some toast and toffee. Flavor is really mild coffee with some cocoa powder and caramel/toffee. Really subtle blackstrap molasses character, not nearly as "metallic" as I'd feared it would be. Really smooth roastiness in here with really subtle "foresty" hops. This is some damn good wort! |

Gravity and sensory sample to determine readiness. Lots of yeast in suspension still with a very green taste. Flavor of alcohol which is disheartening, but I did ramp the temperature of the fermentation a bit early. Gravity is already lower than terminal, but I think I'll leave it in the fermenter for another week and rouse it a couple of times to push any O2 entered the headspace from opening the lid. |

Strong esters of cherry and a little bit of "raw" plastic or rubber. Standard "green beer" aroma. Very little of the beer comes out unless I sniff hard. Some coffee and chocolate and earth. Flavor is similar, lots of yeast in suspension so they are muddling the flavor. Again hints of coffee and chocolate and earth. Needs more time. |

Coffee, char, chocolate, licorice, molasses. Less dark fruit than the other dark beers I've been making, which is good. Bit of a yeast bite and some tartness and astringency. Young dark beer I've found doesn't taste very good. |
