Taste Notes

Tasted after 4 weeks, 1 in the bottle. Malt notes of raisins and brown sugar. Hops are piney and citrusy, very cleanly bitter, fades away fast and leaves an impression of being very smooth. The Centennial seems to round out the dankness of the Chinook with some brightness. Definitely tastes like Arrogant Bastard's milder, more Devil's Ale-esque little brother, but lacks the sharp, aggressive edge of either. Tasted again a couple weeks in the bottle. It's too sweet with that much Special B in it. It may have worked with a lower mash, but I didn't have that option with extract. The sweetness sort of sabotages the punch the hops should have. Perhaps 10% would be more appropriate next time, with the color made up by Munich.

Notes

A twisted hybrid inspired by Stone's Arrogant Bastard and San Tan's Devil's Ale. Brewing with 1st generation US-05 rinsed from T11. Tried to keep fermentation temp as close to 60 as possible. Bottled 12/29/12, with 60 grams of dextrose.
