Batch 90 Pious Quad tasting notes

Cellar temp

Uneven bottling, some gushers and some very low.  This one gushed.

Massive white head, clear very deep amber red, nice looking.

Aroma sweet stone fruit banana tropical fruit, some dirt behind

Mouth feel very rich, somewhat cloying, thick on tongue, roasty cleanse.

Flavor nice complex tropical/stone fruit, roast edge, pleasant hop spice.

Finish cleans up nicely, undercarbed samples not so well, balance of roast and hops covers esters up nicely.

Overall, yeast has had it and needs to be pitched, dirt is from yeast not hops, go back to chimay, go back to bottling bucket, hop and malt bill here is ideal.
