Discussion
Great flavor, too heady, could use more clarity

When I repeat this one, I'll cut out the Dextrine malt to tone down the head, and also add another level of secondary (tertiary?) fermentation, for better clarity. The date solids, I suspect, take a long time to settle. Flavor was complex and intriguing, and improves with aging. Give it a try!
