Judges' Comments
- "Nicely balanced beer. Some residual bitterness. Roasted barley and malt sweetness blend together well. Very good job at style. The malt profile is right now."
- "Good roast and malt character. Bitterness very good. Perfect conditioning. Nice malt, roast, and bitter in finish-maybe too bitter?"
