Tasting Notes
- Tasted good after a week and a half in the bottle, but will doubtless improve with time. Very thick body, average head, quite bitter. Flavor of barley comes through clearly. Haven't compared with Guiness, but it is quite similar, although not as crisp. Perhaps in a couple more weeks.
