Discussion
Good taste with interesting mix of choclate, hazelnut flavors
2009-02-21 10:05am
Beer came out quite well with an interesting mix of flavors (chocolate, hazelnut) most prominent. Took longer to self carbonate, but might have been due to the fact that I allowed it to sit in fermentation bottle longer then usual so more yeast cells settled out. Aging is fine though.
