Batch 88 Nut Brown tasting notes

Pours very dark brown, even small tan head that pulls to edge slowly, laces some

Smells pleasant malt with roast notes, nice match mild spice hops, slight dishrag, mostly just pleasant

Mouth feel, surprisingly thin, very light body, slightly annoying sweetness

Flavor disappointing roast dominant without hop balance, nut flavor apparent, sweet but not malty,

Finish roast without astringency, cleans quickly, almost dead, light hop bitterness at very end.

Overall, hard to say where to go with this.  Dumped the yeast.  Try with less chocolate, no amber, raise hops to 20 IBUs with real Willamette, mash higher temp, run ferm warmer, more OG.
