Discussion
Good Black, but more of a stout flavor

Nice smooth beer, but needs more black patent or maybe different brand. Too much like a stout. Maybe a change in the bittering hops as well. Great beer just the same.
Maturing Nicely - BP flavor now more evident

Beer has matured and cleaned up in flavor.
