OG = 1.050
FG = 1.010
ABV = 5.25%
Nose is slightly sweet, pleasant yeasty aroma, no discernible hop aroma,
color is "reddish" amber with slight brown overtones, froth is light beige to white with good retention, some legs remaining as is drank.
Taste is of moderate to light carbonation, slightly sweet malty backbone with very light caramel overtones with rich taste, good body, very smooth with lingering bitterness that is well balanced to its overall taste.
In my opinion, somewhere between a Newcastle Brown Ale and Karl Strauss Red Trolley Ale as an example.
Temperature is key here, as is using a starter. Used two litters of ambient water to package of liquid yeast. Added 1/4 cup honey as "food" but not enough to start fermentation. Allowed to sit in dark for 24/36 hours before added to wort. I attribute the starter technique to the "attenuation" being 79%
During fermentation, never got above 66 F and averaged 64-66 F during the first seven days. Secondary/conditioning allowed to rise to 68 F for the remaining seven days prior to cold crashing and filtering into kegs. Allowed to rest an additional seven days prior to drinking
I use a water bath to control temperature and glass carboy. Fermentation started in under 12 hours which was robust and had to change overflow bottle twice.
As is always maintained is meticulous sterile/clean procedure.

Notes: FATHEADS SON OF BREWZILLA 2017 (Bronze - Altbiers & Weissbiers):
35.5/50
AROMA (9/12): Chocolate, plum, and vanilla notes. Some light banana notes. Very complex and inviting. No hops, diacetyl, DMS or acetaldehyde; Moderate plum, raisin, and fig aromas from the malt combined with low banana & clove yeast aroma to create a complex & inviting aroma. Hop aroma is absent. No off aromas noted.
APPEARANCE (2.5/3): Dark brown with medium tan head. Creamy with great retention, moderate haze; This beer pours a deep copper, nearly mahogany with a huge mousse light tan head which lasts forever. Very hazy which is ok for the style
FLAVOR (13.5/20): Nice (maybe too high?) chocolatey up front. Moderate wheat bread. Low but balanced banana/clove. More vanilla than clove. Quite complex. Nice dry clean finish; Banana & clove are moderate, a bit more prominent than in the aroma. Dark fruit & deep tastiness from malts are medium-high, but carry a solvent alcohol note with them. Hop flavor is absent and bitterness is low, yielding a sweet impression in the finish which is slightly dry. Balance is firmly malty
MOUTHFEEL (3.5/5): Heavy body with foamy carbonation. Moderate warming. Noticeable but low alcohol bite. Finishes dry; Body is medium with high carbonation. Creaminess is very slight - could be more. Warmth is low despite obvious alcohol content. No astringency
OVERALL IMPRESSION (7/10): Excellent dark version of style. A bit heavy on chocolate. Stronger yeast flavors would increase the score (banana & clove). Alcohol could be a little better hidden. Try fermenting a little lower. Overall very complex and enjoyable; Very nice beer. Rich & malty with an ester profile that gives it a wonderful complexity. There's a definite solventy note with flavor though, which is obviously from yeast stress. Use a starter, oxygenate, and pitch at least 0.75 million cells/*P/ml wort for a beer this big
MY THOUGHTS: Pitch 1 mil/*P/ml wort at 62*, don't seal lid. Let rise to 68 after a day, and let finish at 72* after 3 days. Eliminate brown malt and increase Chocolate wheat to .75 lb |

Notes: Inspired by Black Slobber and Gus the drooling puppy. Was originally supposed to have 2 lbs corn sugar but I forgot to put it in the boil.
Cacao nibs 14 days in secondary (conical after drawing off trub)
keg 1 - left as is
keg 2 - added 2 oz coriander seeds in ss dry hop tube
removed Coriander seeds from keg #2 after ~10 days because i thought it was clogging tube (wasn't --- was yeast)
keg #2 way more interesting... like hoppiness but not quite .. cool aftertaste.. subtle, wouldn't know it was coriander
******************************************
next time coriander in secondary for entire batch
