Potato adds almost zero flavor and only serves to dry out the beer but it does add "something".
Deep red, malty and a little biscuity. Great head and foam retention.
-Carbonate lower than normal. Carbonic bite will take away flavor.
Use wlp004 (more dry) or Pub ale (more malty) yeast for best results. S-04 in a pinch but will add more floral notes.
