Cellar temp 65 df
Big dark tan head, deep red brown, almost opaque, clear
Aroma, soapy hops, malt sweetness, pears, slight roast
Mouth feel, cloyingly thick, sweet, alcohol warmth
Flavor old soapy sponge (nose), very sweet roast malt, hop bitterness at finish. pH seems too high, don't add soda. No fruit in flavor, yeast character is lost.
Finish is bitter and cloying, alcohol warmth.
Overall, way overshot on adding body, a bit too robust! Sweet; roast flavors are largely absent. Soap is probably old hops/trub from old yeast cake, no more throwing onto old cake. Hop bitterness and carb levels are trying to save this, but the grain bill/mash is just not working here.
