pretty good

As a first attempt I'm actually pretty pleased with this beer, it was very easy to make. After 2 weeks in primary it was bottled and primed with demerara sugar. Given the choice I would put it in a secondary for a while to clear as the Abbey yeast has pretty low flocculation. The beer is probably a bit too dark, I steeped the grains at a fairly low temp to stop excessive tannins but I think I would cut out the crystal next time and use just special B. After 8 weeks it is very drinkable but I'm going to leave it until christmas to let it condition more.
4 months down the line

After 4 months it has turned in to a very tasty beer. I will definitely brew this again!
