i made this earlier this year with brown ale yeast due to availability and i was very, very happy. it was unremarkable 2-4 weeks after bottling but really developed over the next 2-3 months and has been a real crowd pleaser.
I did an altered version of this, and like you said, it took a while to find it's footing. Didn't even carb for 4 weeks. Now it's the perfect breakfast tailgate beer!

It might be horrible, it could be great, but it'll definitely be beer!
This is a great beer, brewed it back in September and I think its at it's prime now. This one needs a month at the minimum to condition IMO. Almost everyone who tried it has really enjoyed it!
Mine has been carbing for a little more than two weeks now. I cracked one at a week and a half. It was REALLY hot. Couldn't taste anything past the ethanol except a hint of maple. Hoping it cools off in time for New Years.
