Tasting Notes
Well balanced with an awesome chocolate, toasty flavor.
I made this 6 weeks before Thanksgiving because my wife and I were having the family over for the day. Other than the few I had before Thanksgiving, we pretty much killed the keg. I also gave out a growler. It was gone in 3 days.
