Just took a hydrometer reading of my first PM (and first recipe from scratch) that I started 10 days ago. It has a distinct licorice taste and aroma. The bitterness seems to balance the caramel and roasted malts, and a faint warmth from the alcohol comes through nicely. I wasn't sure what to expect (hence the small batch), but I'm pleasantly surprised! I'm not sure how to classify this beer (I was aiming for a CDA with a twist) - any ideas?
