Any response yet on how this scored? I am looking to make a Jameson Stout...like the look of the bill on this one.
 
Yeah, it scored a 30. Comments were a bit too roasted with some astringency. Needs a little more body. Overall quite well done.The roasted flavor dominated the chocolate and whisky.

I just brewed it again, with some changes. I still think it's pretty good, but am curious how the changes work.
