Well, the stuff I let sit for a little over a year was MUCH better with the aging. It was nearly undrinkable when it was young. The biggest problem is that the hopping was off. I let the local store make some substituttions because their selection was minimal. The hops they gave me were nowhere near what the beer should have had. I have some Saaz for the next run. At any rate, the warm ferment and high alcohol content of this beer style apparently means it needs to be aged a bit before drinking.
