Brew Notes

2007-01-23 1:32pm

OG:1.075 FG:1.012 ABV:8% FERMENTED:4 Weeks Tasting Notes: Very strong coffee up front with a nice dry finish with hints of rich chocolate. Texture is nice and rich with a full mouth feel. I also added 1 cup of lactose to the secondary and also 1 cup when kegged. Next time I will look into adding less coffee and more chocolate.
