Brewers Notes:

I have not in fact finished with the primary fermentation of this beer. The finished wort smelled excellent--smokey and roasty--and with the Wyeast Scottish Ale Yeast, fermentation has been vigorous for quite some time now. Primary fermentation will probably take less than the prescribed 10 days, but it's a good conservative estimate.
