Here is a weird one! This was my 3rd all grain brew. I was shooting for a robust porter. Grain bill was as follows:
8lbs 12oz Pale 2-row
14.1oz Caramel 60L
12oz Flaked Barley
9oz Chocolate Malt
7oz Black Patent
4oz Roasted Barley
I left in primary for 2 weeks (didnt do secondary) and bottled.
It's been 2.5 weeks in the bottle.
It tastes OK...but not very ROBUST and has zero aroma.
I love a nice strong coffee aroma on a porter so this is disappointing.
Im thinking I didnt let it marinate long enough in the primary.
Other thoughts???
