Comments:
Submitted to 28th Ales Open; Ale and Lager Enthusiasts of Saskatchewan (Apr-2023)

Silver in English Porter (10 entries)

It got 39 and 43 out of 50.

Judges thought it was a solid- excellent example of the style. I agree, but also I think it is very close to the original beer, which I love--that was my goal. It is obviously not the exact same (chocolate wheat subbed in and brewed in my apartment), but it feels and tastes a lot like the OG, so that is awesome! A very nice dark beer that really came into its own after two months+ cold conditioning.
