Brewers Notes:

Bottled with 3/4 cup corn sugar and fresh starter of Wyeast 1056.

It took a while for this to mellow out, but after about 10 months it tasted awesome.

In competition at 6 months it was described as somewhat thin...at 10 months in a large group tasting NO ONE thought it was thin...the fusels may have contributed to the thin perception before they mellowed some.
