I made this in January 10, and it's still drinking decently. I did have a high final gravity though- I think because dark LME has some unfermentables in it.
I don't get much head at all but tastes pretty good
Both were very true of my batch at 3 weeks as well but now 6 months later the bourbon mellowed (used 22 oz.) and the carbonation is right (maybe a touch high actually).I just had a bottle of this 3 weeks after bottling. I really hope it mellows out the bourbon is to much. Also it was very under carbonated.
Quick question, when I racked mine to secondary it smelled a little bit like banana. It fermented at about 64-66F. Is that smell normal for this beer?
I didn't have any banana aroma with mine (although might be nice with some of the chocolate character of the beer). let us know if it is still there at bottling time

The 1 12oz bottle i i did have carb up was AWESOME. I think I'm just going to keep sitting on this and waiting, it would be a shame to dump it.

How does it taste compared to something like a KBS? that is fairly boozy.
