The taste test results are in, and...

Both the Altbier and the Nut Brown are very good. But, not ready for prime time. After a week in the bottle, the carbonation is still soft, and the finish is a little weak. But, the intial flavor when you take the first sip of either is marvelous. The Nut Brown is like a stronger, richer version of New Castle Brown Ale, and the Alt has a little bit of smoke, and reminds me of dark German beers I have had -- Hacker Pschorr Dunkel or maybe Aventinus.

In another two weeks I think they will be great.
