Batch 79 Nut Brown tasting notes

Cellar temp, 68 df

Overcarbed, giant head demands slow pour, billows.  Orange brown, tan head.  Reasonably clear, but too dark to really tell.

Aroma - soapy hops, biscuity malt with a touch of roast

Mouth feel - moderate tooth, sweet and clingy, slight unpleasant sour edge

Flavor - soap, dishraggy, slight biscuit underneath, nuts are the furthest thing from my mind right now, hint of roast perhaps, some sour fruit very little.

Finish - there's the nut, some mild sweetness, mild unpleasant bittering from hops, not cleansing though.

Overall, disaster, this is dramatically worse than the last one, hop aromas are all wrong, malt is edgy in a bad way, yeast runs verrrrry slow, at the end needs more sweetness.  Yuck.  Drink as cold as possible.
