This is looking a little thin and I wonder if I boil it enough - I believe I did. We shall see.

Tasted 9/7/08 - 27 days after bottling and it was pretty darn good - NOT a porter but the carbonation has taken off and friends have said "This is pretty good".

It never really carbed up. taste's diluted but is OK. Just week. I call it a failure but it still contains alcohol and SOME flavor and people seem to like it.

I won't brew it again.
