Cellar temp
Pours nice clear orange amber, ample light tan head that falls back slowly, billowy, lace-o-rama.
Aroma heavy spice like cumin, light earth tones, big sweet malt
Mouth feel nice tooth, big carb, cleans up moderately, some cling
Flavor spice jumps up front, cumin/malt blend is in front, nice malt backbone, earthy hops at the end
Finish, sweet malt gets cleared by carb, leaving dirt flavor, sweet impression
Overall, very nice interpretation here, not really nutty, but pleasant. Could drop the Cara120 by an ounce or two, cut the Willamette with mt hoods. IBUs are OK, could bump a tad, but not more than 10%. Yeast character is neutral, works here with spicy hops.
