I designed this beer last year but never got around to it. it was meant to be an imperial brown but i gained volume somewhere and diluted the gravity (i believe a miscalculation of both dead space and boil off), thats what you get for brewing once every 6 months! good news, i tasted the wort and its everything i could of hoped for, very excited.

Merry Christmas to you Jonathan. This beer is
very good and well made. I'm really enjoying it. We have some good brewers on here. Sorry about the uneven pour, never know, this one the carbonation is just right.
Thanks

A bit behind on my beers, trying to catch up today. I get some molasses type flavors from this one, must be a mix of the malts, coco and lactose.

Just finished this. Different brown for sure. Enjoyed it for what it was. Not overly familiar with lactose. But seemed to work

Not sure how I missed this one but just found it in the back of my fridge. Caught a taste of esters in the first sip but not after that. Nice syrupy taste now. Quite good actually.

Still have this one, will probably give him away as the wife threatens a divorce if I have another beer with lactose.
