Cellar temp
Pours nice tan head that stays OK, clear brown with red/orange throughout, attractive.
Aroma biscuit malt with slight roast, spice hops with hint of earth.
Mouth feel pretty hefty, but carb level is good balance.
Flavor caramel and very slight roast. Hop bitterness a bit much, not really nutty at all.
Finish, sweet with hop bitterness. A bit too clingy.
Way too much caramel here, need to back off a lot. Bump chocolate instead. EKG not the right hop, northdown preferred here for proper spicy flavor aroma. Back off IBUs to about 15. Also, may need a refresh on the us-05, possibly getting dirty. Check next batch with house us-05. Try west Yorkshire yeast.
