Hi, Tex, and thank you much for your thoughts on this. I could see how lagering would really kick this up a notch and a half! I will be having some extra S23 soon, and might give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
I enjoyed another one of these last Friday evening, 24 November 2017.
Just like before, it was wonderful and exactly as advertised: tasty, drinkable and addicting. I finished the glass wanting more, and I am really loving this colour, as well.
I really can't think of any changes that I would make to this, although some folks might want to bring the IBUs up just a bit. Right now, I have them at just a hair over 24, but I could see that some might prefer them to be a little closer to 30...maybe around 28. I personally wouldn't go over 30, as I feel that would defeat one of the goals of this style, which is to lean a bit malt-forward.
This is a very special beer and I imagine that it will show up on my rotation often. If anyone is looking to give this a try, I don't think you would be disappointed!
