Subdued roastiness. Nice hop balance. Not too sweet. We'll see how full bodied it is cold and carbed. I think it has potential. Little worried about the high fg. Still a bit of sulfur on the nose. |

Grav sample pretty tasty, no sulfur. Still worried about FG and sweetness/too much body, but we'll see. Nice subtle roast and pretty big maltiness. |

Put into keg II (previously Christmas Beer). Cleaned keg and line with PBW, didn't remove posts. Purged 5x at 30 psi, left at ~32 psi for ~52 hours. |

Carbonation pretty good, could use a touch more. Seemed a bit overly full bodied and too roasty. Too much body, too malty, too roasty. Things might settle down with time. More like a stout. Actually wouldn't be too bad if I had wanted to make a stout. |

Maltiness has settled a bit and roastiness has settled some. Definitely too roasty still, but it is pretty good as a Stout. Melanie seemed impressed. |
