Notes

looking for a base for a bourbon beer. kinda want a little bready profile for the whiskey to knock around, hence the victory.

2/19
For my personal taste I have too much caramel in this. The hops pull it through quite nice but the victory should be bumped up a bit. It's kinda like a newcastle but not as nutty/bready. I'm thinking upping the victory and replacing 120 with 80 or 60.

20 hrs at 30 psi does the trick for carbonation. Not a cask ale but nota lager either. accd to my calcs it should be around 2.0 vol.
