 Date: 12/22/2008

 Brewer: Adam Ross

Taste Rating(out of 50): 46.0 Brewhouse Efficiency: 70.00
Taste Notes: Sweet, but not cloying. A slight drying finish. Almost too big of a body - could stand to scale down to 1055-1060 OG. Strong coffee aroma and flavor, should be reduced slightly. My favorite recipe so far.
