Do the Doobie!

01/17 Bottled after one week of primary and then two weeks in a secondary. It tasted really nice going to bottle, well balanced with a good Belgian funk of course, but no distinct ester flavor really stood out at this point. I'll let it sit for about a month before tasting again.

2/23 Five weeks in the bottle. Great flavor, especially as it warms up after being in the fridge. A nice plum-like character that lingers on the tounge. I'm not sure if that comes from the Special B malt or the yeast? I'll be interested to see how this ages, if I can muster the will power.
