Tasting Notes
Excellent!
Named because of it's dense rocky head. I had to pour it like it was nitroglycerin because the foam stayed ALL of the way to the bottom of the glass.
Taste is excellent! I did screw up a little by making too large of a yeast starter, and ended up with no fruit flavor, but I will adjust next time. Caramel malt gives a nice flavor and the Black prinz gives the added color without bitter malt qualities.
