Notes

FATHEADS SON OF BREWZILLA 2017 (Bronze - Altbiers & Weissbiers):
35.5/50
AROMA (9/12): Chocolate, plum, and vanilla notes. Some light banana notes. Very complex and inviting. No hops, diacetyl, DMS or acetaldehyde; Moderate plum, raisin, and fig aromas from the malt combined with low banana & clove yeast aroma to create a complex & inviting aroma. Hop aroma is absent. No off aromas noted.

APPEARANCE (2.5/3): Dark brown with medium tan head. Creamy with great retention, moderate haze; This beer pours a deep copper, nearly mahogany with a huge mousse light tan head which lasts forever. Very hazy which is ok for the style

FLAVOR (13.5/20): Nice (maybe too high?) chocolatey up front. Moderate wheat bread. Low but balanced banana/clove. More vanilla than clove. Quite complex. Nice dry clean finish; Banana & clove are moderate, a bit more prominent than in the aroma. Dark fruit & deep tastiness from malts are medium-high, but carry a solvent alcohol note with them. Hop flavor is absent and bitterness is low, yielding a sweet impression in the finish which is slightly dry. Balance is firmly malty

MOUTHFEEL (3.5/5): Heavy body with foamy carbonation. Moderate warming. Noticeable but low alcohol bite. Finishes dry; Body is medium with high carbonation. Creaminess is very slight - could be more. Warmth is low despite obvious alcohol content. No astringency

OVERALL IMPRESSION (7/10): Excellent dark version of style. A bit heavy on chocolate. Stronger yeast flavors would increase the score (banana & clove). Alcohol could be a little better hidden. Try fermenting a little lower. Overall very complex and enjoyable; Very nice beer. Rich & malty with an ester profile that gives it a wonderful complexity. There's a definite solventy note with flavor though, which is obviously from yeast stress. Use a starter, oxygenate, and pitch at least 0.75 million cells/P/ml wort for a beer this big

MY THOUGHTS: Pitch 1 mil/P/ml wort at 62, don't seal lid. Let rise to 68 after a day, and let finish at 72 after 3 days. Eliminate brown malt and increase Chocolate wheat to .75 lb
