Notes:
Dark amber in color.  Slight nutty taste but strong yeast off-flavor so cannot determine flavor yet.
Slight nutty, did not let sit in primary long enough.  Yeast flavor comes out because of this.
Nutty taste, a little dark so maybe more crystal or Maris Otter.  Good carbonation after two weeks.
