Racked. Darker than I wanted. Closer in color to a brown ale, but it's very tasty. This is going to be so easy to drink. I'll probably dry hop for a few days or a week to get a little more hoppy nose and flavor into it. Regardless, it'll be a really nice, mellow beer, even if it hits the potential 8%. -Morrigu August 2, 2012

Bottled with Loken. Nice red amber. Sweet and malty with very little hoppiness or bitterness. -Morrigu August 22, 2012
