Final tasting notes

just finished the last bottle. 3/31/10 Aroma: Sweet with higher esters. Flavor: Hops were significantly diminished (Low). Malt dominates Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation. Very creamy and full bodied Comments: After about 8-9 months the beer was drinkable. Very rich, if I could change one thing I would use less flaked
