Taste Notes
I consider this more of a Imperial Brown Ale as opposed to a Imperial Pale Ale. Caramel / Amber color, full mouthfeel, good head retention. Fairly strong citrus, best described as tangerine with a subtle earthy aroma. (Dry hop time could probably use some adjustment). The caramunich adds a unique caramel flavor that blends surprisingly well with the hops.Notes
The fermentation times can be shortened without loosing much of the beer's characteristics.I have made it from boil to belch in 3 weeeks (bottled). The hops seem to hold flavoring and aroma well but I have noticed that the aroma slightly diminished around the 45 day mark. I haven't managed to keep one past 2 months days in the bottle so unsure about the "best by" timeframe.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
