Entered this recipe into a recent comp and got dinged significantly about the body and mouth feel. Amazingly to me neither judge commented on any smoke flavor. They only noticed the coffee. Both commented on the lack of body and no mouth feel. Looking for tips to improve and get some chewiness for this complex beer.
