This beer was drinkable, but not to my taste. It definitely benefitted from some ageing, for a month, for the roast to drop and the flavors to marry. I probably drank it way too early. Maybe a retry later. Nice beer, though. I also probably further screwed it up by using regular carafa rather than the dehusked carafa. That probably makes a big difference. Wish my LHBS would sell dehusked.
