So I bottled my first batch last Friday... I couldn't help but try a little tonight... it is a holiday Spiced Ale; of course it was flat.... not enough time to carbonate. It smelled great and tasted fairly good... somewhat bitter and maybe a hint of "hard alcohol'ish" on the tongue..... after taste was awesome.
What do you guys think, will it "settle down" an become less bitter/harsh with more time. Recipe stated to let it sit for 2-3 weeks in bottles; I will do that, but for now, I had to taste.
Will the carbonation actually be strong enough to create a head? I know its hard to answer that one, but I can't beleive it could be possible.
