Notes

This is a brew that benefits greatly from conditioning. Anywhere from 6 to 12 months in the bottle or keg is highly recommended. Drink sparingly. This is a brew to be savoured and drank slowly. Your favourite Cuban cigar pairs perfectly.

😯 . This looks amazing . Gonna have to try this . I was interested as to how a spirit added before second fermentation might effect the yeast the second fermentation . How did it turn out @Kaisersose ?
