Ahh, I just popped my first Home Brew!

Nice dark amber color with a good head




It has a roasted nut flavor with a very dry, stout like aftertaste.

This was a kit from Austin Home Brew, with a can of Cooper's Dark Ale

The yeast, that came with the kit did not show any activity when I tried to re-hydrate it. So, I went to the LHBS and got some Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeast. I think that may account for the dry after taste.

I'm going to call this my 'Squirrel Nut Brown Ale'
