Good thing to do on a day off of work. Ended up with 85.7% mash efficiency on this one.

Sampled one today. Still not fully carbonated, but pretty nice flavor. Moderatley sweet up front with a mild nutty, coffee like flavor and aroma with a smooth, slightly tart,dry finish. Needs a little more time, but good brown ale!

Really smooth and easy to drink. Good and malty with a nice toasty, nutty, roasted flavor and aroma. Almost coffee like with a long lasting tan head. Initial sweetness up front with a dry crisp finish. Good stuff!
