Too sweet. Windsor isn't likely the best idea for a stout, on second thought. Hit the batch with some toasted coconut in secondary for a few days. Definitely a flavorful dark British, but I'd have to redo, with some tweaks, and certainly a different yeast. something cleaner, and more attenuative. No need for so much hoppery, either. Maybe pick Citra next time, and leave out the coconut.

Updated recipe to use Verdant IPA yeast, and tweaked the bill a bit. Should come out less sugary this time around.
