Comments
This was my first all grain brew, it's still young, but an amazing beer anyhow. Came close to my original gravity target, but final gravity was somewhat lower than expected. Has a distinct cascade hop nose, medium body, and a dark coffee like finish. I'll be doing this one again soon, as it may become one of the house beers.
