Notes: OH State Fair 2017 (25.6)
AROMA: (5.6/12) Dark stone fruit, caramel brown sugar, a bit vinous in a good way (you put the wine in barleywine), bread; Initial aroma of solvent/acetone, moderate sherry/vinous aromas. Med-Low dried fruit, cherry & raisin. No hops, medium biscuit & caramel malt; Rich malty aroma with dark stone fruit, cherry coming through the most, not much hop on the aroma, a bit of heat, oxidation is present.
APPEARANCE: (2.3/3) Amber, copper color, fair amount of light tan head that dissipates quickly, completely opaque / very hazy; Medium amber brown, extremely hazy, thick ivory head, fine. Excellent retention; Rich amber, hazy, creamy peach color head, good retention, wish it cleared more.
FLAVOR: (10/20) Alcohol & solvent, a bit cardboardy, faint nail polish, sherry dried fruit, brown sugar; Substantial acetone/solvent/higher alcohols mix with oxidized notes (sherry & dried fruits), malt at medium level, some bread and caramel. Medium bitterness, no hop flavor. Dry & harsh finish; Solvent, issues are present, also oxidized, faded hops, the dark fruit characteristics were almost there, but the acetone issues hurt it.
MOUTHFEEL: (3/5) Good carbonation, a little earthy, hot alcohol warmth; medium body, medium carbonation, medium high alcohols are harsh on palate. Drying & highly astringent; Hot, good carbonation, astringent.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: (4.6/10) I'm guessing there might have been some under achieved yeast. I personally am enjoying the dried fruit flavors, but it also seems a tad stale; Beer has multiple issues. Solvent notes likely stressed fermentation from things like under oxygenation, under pitching, poor temp control, oxidation: look up causes & controls to improve; unfortunately it seems to be infected, you may have fermented at too high a temperature.

| Notes: Used half packet of voss yeast since it a vigorous fermenter. OG turned out to be 1.032. Added 5 tablets of beano as an enzyme, into primary to convert as much sugar as possible. Will back sweeten with monk fruit extract if it turns out too dry. Shooting for abv around 4% or greater. |
