Aschecte, sorry for the late reply. How is it coming so far? Is the carbonation better? Regardless, this brew opens up to a whole new level after a few months of aging. Be patient my friend.

Hey !!!! it's coming along pretty well.... at first the carbonation wasn't coming along to well but seems "ok" now after 1 month but I guess I should have expected that with a high abv beer. Also flavor is getting much better the taste of the wlp500 was intense at first ( I've used it before so I was familiar with the profile ) but it's becoming quite mellow now and all the flavors are melding very nicely. I can see this is a beer you don't want to drink young not that it's bad youngbut it's better aged.

Ok here's the almost 6 month review. this aged woderfully !!! def as I said before as you have also not a "young beer" I'm down to my last 6 bottles and I wish i had more their is a prominent raisiny plum charecter from the special b that is there and the esters from the wlp500 are blended perfectly I would say this is a beer that will be best enjoyed by the patient brewer ( usually not me ). thanks for the great recipe.
