I brewed 10 gallons (AG) of this back on 10/16. I kegged it on 11/17.
It tastes really good. I agree that the rye probably adds some of that peppery/spiciness to the beer. Smells great for being as young as it is, though not getting as much of that diacetyl, but maybe that will come. Again, very young beer.
Great beer DeathBrewer - Perfect for the Thanksgiving crew coming over on Thursday!
