So this thing is a monster beer. By far, the worst brew day that I've ever experienced. I ground the carafa III in a coffee grinder and tossed it in at the last 15 minutes of the mash. No real reason other than "I've done a bunch of stouts, let's see if it makes a difference". Stuck mash HARD. I emptied the entire thing into buckets to clean the false bottom.
OG ended up at 1.072.
Sampled throughout a staggered hop schedule over a few days. Initially, it was a little grassy/vegetative, but it cleaned up. Very tasty, but I think I would go with a lower OG version next time. Way too easy drinking.
