- Tasting Notes
- It has a very nice malty,nutty backbone with that sharp citrus centennial profile.
This beer is very nice, and I don't think I would want it to finish too much dryer. I think 1.015 to 1.019 is about right for a beer of this, unnamed style.
Color - like clear milk chocolate
head - very fine bubbles and a very persistent and dense foam....indicitave of bottle conditioning.
aroma - pine, citrus, woods.....malt not evident in aroma
taste - firmly bittered, initial and prevailing taste is centennial citrus, not at all what you would expect. This fades and gives way to a roasty/caramel flavor as the beer goes down and then the finish is IPA bitter........very nice and is going to get better with a little more conditioning. I am not able to pick out the chinook.........I am having a problem deciding which beer I like better....arrogant bastard or this....it is that good.
Notes - right now tasting this beer, if I were to do another batch...I would add another .25 oz of chocolate malt to give the roasty toasty just a hair more emphasis and likely ditch the C40.....and I think I would change the yeast to dry english....the bells strain.
