This beer fermented quite vigorously as you would expect. If you're using a glass carboy I would highly recommend a blow off hose. Do a secondary and let it ferment for double the time you normally would for an ale; maybe 4 weeks in secondary. If you are cold crashing then bottling, I would advise you pitch some fresh yeast as I found my yeast was pretty much extinct. My batch has been bottled for over a month and they are still quite low carb.

Taste wise, quite nice, even with the high ABV. Nice smooth mouth feel. Will post again in 4 months or so.
