This beer has greatly improved with conditioning, but is still a little rough around the edges. Quite tasty, but I am letting it continue to condition before drinking the rest.

This beer still has a little bite in the finish. I believe that it could be a result of sparging too hot, and extracting tannins. I had poor information when I sparged at 180.
