Notes

Ended up with a nice malty beer. Primed with DME. Perhaps fermented at too high of temps making this beer very estery. I am slightly disappointed with the overall outcome of this beer. A little lighter than I wanted for color, if brewed again, I would prime with corn sugar, and more of it. head/retention is low, perhaps needs more time in bottles before being ready to drink.

Update: this beer has sat bottled for several months and now tastes great. The eastery profile of the yeast has mellowed and now this beer tastes the way I wanted it to.
