Racked with Loken. Very fruity this time. Almost berry-like flavor. Racked a few days late. Going to be tasty, but different than the last few batches. --Morrigu 00:29, 17 November 2011 (EST)
Bottled. Fruity flavor is gone. Carbouy cracked and leaked. Leaked beer molded, but it doesn't taste like there's been any contamination. Color is good too. --Morrigu 18 December 2011
