I opened a bottle last weekend. It hasn't carbonated yet. But it's very tasty. Next time I'll probably scale back the chocolate malt or the roasted barley a bit.

How well did the cranberry flavor come through?

 

[albino314]

Really well. Just a bit tart, with a good amount of cranberry flavor, but not so much that it's unbalanced.

It took over a month to carbonate. Next time I'll pitch more yeast.
