Comments

Tastes thick and Chocolaty...almost too thick. Thinking about cutting it before the 750ml. Whiskey and Oak cubes go in.

Didn't cut it after all...

--------------------------------------------------

Plan to do half Cherry Whiskey soaked oak

and

Half Vanilla Whiskey soaked oak.

--------------------------------------------------

Split the batch and added the two flavored Oak cubes. The Flavored whiskeys will be added to taste at bottling.

Half a liter was removed before the oak and force carbonated as a sample for Troy and myself.

We sampled the KIMBO with Jacob H. a few nights ago after work. WOW, this is a huge brew. Chocolate on the nose with dark roast coffee/espresso like lingering.

No real noticeable heat...
