Batch 65 SAB clone tasting notes

Taste cold

Pours cloudy, brown with red hues, big tan head stays, billows, laces well

Aroma tart, earthy pine, malt background

Mouth feel, chunky, too much carbonation.

Flavor bitter, chinooky but mostly bitter, sweetness is way too subdued, kind of too malty, not sweet.

Finish clinging, cloying, hop bitterness too high.  Carbonation not very refreshing.

Overall. WHAT HAPPENED?  Last 2 times this was delicious. Golden promise ruins this, need more protein rest, fresh yeast, watch hop additions, push more towards later additions.  Don't exceed 70 IBUs. Stout starter bad.  Watch priming sugar, 80 gr should be plenty.
