Roasty
2008-10-06 9:51am
This beer turned out well, but slightly too roasty. Next time back the Crystal 120 down, to maybe Crystal 60. Edit: Roasty has subsided some, replaced with burnt raisen. More raisen / plum character. Still slightly too roasty, after about 1 month. Lets give it another month.
