Discussion
Early taste: smooth as silk!

It's not quite ready but this brownie has very smooth silky mouth feel and pleasant aromas. In a few weeks it could be a real marvel. If anything it's a bit thin - I never used 1335 yeast before but it didn't preserve as much of the malt signature as I'd hoped.
Delightful Porter! Smooth and gulpable.

This brown beauty is the best of its kind I have made in years. While not as aromatic as I had hoped, it is perfectly balanced and has an extremely smooth mouth-feel. Silky but clean. Elegant. Quite clear in the glass with a toffee-colored head. The background notes are brown bread and baker's chocolate. No hops finish is discernible, but there is just enough bitter to keep the residual Porter-style malt in balance.
