Notes
Brewed on 8/8 Transferred to secondary on 8/16 and added Cherry juice and vanilla; looks and smells promising! Bottled 9/5 and tasted on 9/18. Aroma and taste in line with style guidelines and my expectations. Slightly undercarbonated - going to let these sit for 2 more weeks and see if carbonation picks up.

Great cold weather beer...

Third time brewing this and tweaking this particular recipe. I'm finally happy with where it's at. Nice balance of roasty notes and sweet/tangy flavors. Still not as "vanilla-y" as I might like, it's delicious.

Carbonation?

Did the carbonation ever come up after waiting or did it stay undercarbonated?

Yes - carbonation picks up fine as it ages for an extra week or so. Great fall beer.

That's great news about the carbonation, any further recommendations for tweaks as far as bringing out the vanilla? I just ordered some pureed cherries in preparation for this wonderful concoction. I want to have it ready for Christmas.
