Had my first pour of this last night,

It needs some time to mellow, a lot of strong flavours hit me all at once with this one, I certainly hope it mellows together nicely with some time.

Its a little overpowering with the bitter coffee flavour, also the hops have clashed with the malt.

I will revisit in a month and hopefully im singing a different tune, 19 litres of the keg could take a while to get through

Here is a picture finally of the finished product.

Well it's not an American Brown, more of an American Porter, too much choc, coffee and caramel for a brown.

Not a bad drinking beer but just not to style
