Molasses and burnt caramel. Huge body and maltiness.

Need more sweet finish and malt character. Caramel(?) comes through too much. GODU.

Straight glass, 20 second pour to curb excess carbonation. This Void's for you, JFB.

Starting to smooth out and taste less heavy. Carb is toning down, too, but have been more careful with pours.

Uber carb. Brewing up a Wee Heavy. Void is way too malty and slightly boozy despite abv.
Mat: She's young. With repetition, the finer points of the brew are examplified. Excessive carb is a triviality & needs a further evaluation.

Overcarbed. Complex but young.

Way too dense and roasty. I expect the style to be sweet. Molassess.

From 2am. Dense, young and overcarbed. I think it will age well but the ABV was spot on, so it reached full fermentation potential.

MORECARB but only on pour. Choc malt aroma. Lite body. Dig the smooth malt finish. Atypical of style. Fix the carb, people will come.
Mat: Very much looking forward to J(F|?)B's review. This is a Good Thing™ despite carb.

Carb test: slightly excessive but poured w/o issue. Little young. Dark roasty. Slight bitter+sweetness on finish.
Earned the Photogenic Brew (Level 40) badge!
Mat: Based on past lager history, all of these should be chilled now to prevent further carb I'll get you some ASAP. Interested on your cf. 2013.
Ages very well. Carb issue remains. Also, more molassass flavor than I'd like but lite bodied, so only lingers on flavor.
