Mosaic IPA. Just finished bottle conditioning... very hoppy. Hope it mellows with time

2nd run of Guinness with twist. Way better than first run.

That's great news, anything you would change?

Interesting what makes it an IPA, curious, never seen one so dark, you have my attention.
Of course I have seen darker though, as in a Black IPA, right @Brew Cat ?

Another example of Westie that clearly has some crystal malt to back up the bitterness. This one is a beast at 7.1% and an advertised 80 IBU's
Everyone knows what I am getting at, right?

The above Boneshaker was earlier this evening.
This is a fermenter sample, still chilling, but down to 7C / 45F and still a little under carbed.
Glad I pulled back on the lactose, at first thought the dried orange peel was a bit much, but chilled and carbed, it is appropriate. Vanilla, yes I added vanilla. If you tasted the beer and I asked if you tasted the vanilla, you would say, "oh is that what that is, yes, now that you mention it, I do" paraphrasing of course.

Did someone mention Cascadian Dark Ale? ;-)
