I have tasted the finished product. It was good but needs more "mouth feel". I also need more than 2 weeks to carbonate this beer. I was expecting a beautiful head but I think the high alcohol content made the yeast a little sluggish. I will update via comment when the beer is fully carbonated. By the way my mashing schedule was 30 min @ 122 and 30 min @ 155 with a 60 min boil after the sparge.

After this beer fully carbonated it was delicious. The sweet flavors calmed down and the head was very nice. The carbonation took 3 weeks. I have found that it was due to the fermentation process. I have never used secondary feremtation until now. I have found that less yeast are present when bottle conditioning the beer to carbonate the beer so instead of 5 to 7 days to carbonate it takes 3 weeks. Just a heads up to the new brewers. Enjoy...
