Sample tastes a bit astringent and/acidic. Higher ABV than expected already. Will check again in a couple of days. |

Sucked up a bit of trub. Tasted very bitter and gross for a couple of days. |

Carbonation is great. Nice body and sweetness. Maybe just a little too sweet and tart, but in the right neighborhood. Might drop the fermentation temp a little next time to hold back the tanginess - or more likely will is a different yeast.
Slight raw grain taste. Alcohol taste is slightly too prevalent. Maybe a slight DMS cabbage flavor (very uninformed guess.) Bitterness is not completely pleasant - not sure if that's just a bit of remaining trub, the hops, or a slight off flavor. |

The off flavors on this one seem to intensified a bit. Beer is clear, nice carbonation and body, but there is a slightly foul undertone that I can't get past. I assume this is an infection of some sort. Most likely a dumper. |

Off flavor has mellowed out and the roastiness of the chocolate is starting to come through. Mouthfeel is a bit thick. This is not a great beer but not a dumper. |

Tossed it. Not a problem with off flavors, but too thick and sweet. Under-attenuated? |
