Comments: I think this beer went pretty well with only a few mistakes. The overall taste is great. The color seems a bit dark due to steeping the grains at too high of a temperature. Also, some bottles may have been over carbonated. The head is nice during the inital pour, but it does not leave a ring around the glass. I will try tweaking this recipie a little next time it is brewed, but overall, it is a pretty decent beer!

Comments: The thing I like about this beer is that it does not leave a "bad taste." However, I think it might be just a tad weak in the overall taste department. The beer seemed like it was "almost there" in terms have having excellent taste. But that is better then having a horrible taste altogether and not wanting to drink it ever again. The one thing i remember about it was that it almost tasted like a New Castle Brown Ale.
