Taste Notes

First taste was extremely rich, toasty malt with very subtle vanilla and a evident oak "sharpness." As the beer has aged, a fruity twang has come forward, not unpleasant, and I don't believe technically an off-flavor. Each bottle has tasted slightly different, but all have been smooth and pleasant. Hence the (d)Evolution. It shall be interesting to see how they age further.

Notes

Add one vanilla bean, split, scraped and coarsely chopped @ flameout. Allow the bean to remain during primary fermentation. Roughly one week before brew day add 2oz of oak chips to approx. 12oz of spiced rum (For this batch I used half Kraken/half Captain Morgan as that's what I had on hand.) When transferring to secondary, add a second split, scraped and chopped vanilla bean to the oak/rum mixture and pour all (including the oak chips) into the secondary fermentor. For the 1lb. of brown malt I toasted a lb of of standard 2-row per online instructions. (can't recall the website so can't give proper credit.)
