Batch 121 Vienna tasting notes

Cold

Pours huge fine white head, yellow, slight haze

Aroma big vanilla punch, tart fruit, spicy hops in the background

Mouthfeel moderate body, definite tooth, a little clingy

Flavor all sweet vanilla, even at the end.  Slight pears maybe.

Finish vanilla again, not really quenching.

Overall, about what I expected unfortunately, very sweet malty without the melanoidin crunch, hop balance is way off (although probably to style), lagering just doesn't cut the vienna flavor as much as I had hoped.  Abandoning the style, as of today.  Kind of had to choke down the batch, although there may be takers out there, just not me.
