    Deep dark and tasty

    Turned out a darker color than pictured but a tasty beer unlike any that I've had previously. I'm new to home brewing still trying to figure out if I'm doing this right. Can't beat the simplicity of Mr Beer and helpful customer service.

    Smooth-drinking beer

    Just opened a few bottles yesterday (the 4th) and found it to be very drinkable smooth with no drastic notes of anything.

    Rich flavor!

    This was my first time brewing this recipe and won’t be my last. Easy brew to make. I allowed a little more time in fermentation until my hydrometer was more spot on which may have made it a little hoppier. I let the conditioning go a little longer as well. It’s a smooth rich flavor that I like. If you like a good flavorful ale this is one to try.

    Great Tasting!

    Great tasting brew even at the bottling stage. It will only get better. Brewed at 62 degrees first week then 65 degrees for 2 more weeks. Used an inkbird controller on my fridge. I also added 1 newer pouch of booster to the batch. The ABV before bottling was 6.7. This brew just may give me a Rocket's Red Glare!
