Well, a years gone by... This turned out to be one of my top 3 brews. It cellared nicely, and drank nicely too. It was good when it was new, and just got better. Damn tasty. Flavors remained well balanced, fine carbonation with a lasting creamy head, good mouthfeel, with very little alcohol bite. Half of this batch was saved for the holidays and it went fast, with calls for more.
