10/8/2014 - 1.011 Of course I bottled!
10/30/2014 - Once in a while I like to open bottles prematurely. So here goes.
There was a nice moderate cream colored head that lasted for about 2 minutes but kept an even layer. The smell was intoxicating in terms of "Wow, there's a lot going on in here". I think the heather tips are doing that. Heather tips are good in a stout. I can smell 'pine'. There is a coffee/medicinal in a good way smell.
I taste the bitter from the black malt. It is full bodied and smooth. 5.1% ABV
12/12/2014 - This was a good one especially with the added Heather tips. My wife liked this one.
