(Black Gold) My batch of Bochet...

[OpenContainer]

I didn't top it off with anything, 44. I intentionally made enough in a 5 gallon carboy so that when I racked it off at first rack, it would completely fill a 3 gallon carboy + two 22 ouncers for future rackings. First rack was super clear, and now it's crystal clear. The picture doesn't do it justice, but you can actually read through it. I drew off a small sample tonight.....first taste since I racked it. I'm really impressed with it. It's fantastic!! Slightly sweet with a hint of smokiness. I may enter a bottle in the fair this year and see what happens......I like it that much.

And for the pic ho's.....
