Description:

This is a very good beer. Very strong though. Smooth, slight chocolate, vanilla overtones. However, the burnt flavor of the carmenl disappated. Could it be the yeast is too attenuative? Perhaps I should try a less attenuative yeast nest time. Perhaps the London Ale yeast instead. No lasting head at all.
