My bottles are conditioning at the moment and I’ll give them another 2 weeks before giving it a try. With some other members, we also added coffee to a portion of it (the process was described in another post) and according to the sample we tasted at bottling, it was delicious : bold and well rounded. I’m looking forward to tasting them both cold and carbonated!
As a side note : I had about 10-15 litres of my non-barrel aged version that I put on tap and surprisingly, it got more traction than expected considering that both my spouse and I aren’t normally fans of big beers. I think the recipe we followed was definitely a winner.
