- Tasting Notes
- Creamy, malty, excellent at lower carbonation and warmer temps.
I've brewed this beer twice so far, and both times it has been one of the best beers I've ever made. It's not just for English ale enthusiasts, either. It's got a very crowd-pleasing flavor profile, and at about 4% ABV is easy-drinkin'.
Your strike temperature and volumes will of course vary depending on your system. Picture to come soon.
We used to be able to attach BeerXML files, but apparently no more?
Enjoy!
