Well, I tried one at 3 weeks in the bottle (Sept 18), and it wasn't carbonated. Maybe a tiny bit, but no where near where it needed to be. I assume this is due to my technique and not the recipe, although I have no idea what I did differently. I suppose it could be the yeast.
I had one this past weekend at 6 weeks in the bottle, and there is carbonation, but less than I expect or want. The taste is pretty decent, but would be helped by increased carbonation. It also came out much darker than you would expect for the style.
I've also noticed that there is little to no yeast sediment in the bottles. This may be related to the lack of carbonation, but I can't be sure. I would consider this a positive attribute if the beer had turned out okay otherwise.
So this was a bit disappointing for me, but I place more blame on my lack of experience than the recipe itself. Although, like I said, it could be the yeast (Cry Havoc).
