DRIS Tasting...


Aroma - Roast, hint of sweetness - 7/12    
Appearance - Jet black, creamy dark head - 3/3    
Flavor - A lot, lot of sweetness, subtle background roast notes, trailing bitterness - 14/20   Mouthfeel - Full, creamy, smooth - 4/5
Overall - 8/10
Total - 36/50. Never made a stout before that tasted like this. In fact, one of the better beers that I've ever made. By far the best beer made in the 50(1) process. The mouthfeel is fantastic. It's smooth and coats the palate. The sweetness detracts a bit but I think that if it doesn't explode in the bottles it should fade with time. This one will age well.

Next time more roast malts for the nose and taste, otherwise no changes.

Not sure why this one stopped fermenting when it did. The champagne yeast should have taken it lower. With it had gotten about 0.03 lower. This one will be made again...
