Eis'd and Fruited English Strong (18-2)

Drinkablility: Over-carbonated and chunky, probably should have left it in some sort of tertiary for conditioning.   Poured the sample through a Randall Jr. to get the bits of berry out of the glass.

Deep berry, woodys, leather and tobacco aroma with some sweet chocolate.  Not as full as I had hoped,  most of the body comes from the yeast still in suspension, boozy.   

Changes for next time:  Over all pretty disappointed in the overall failure.  I'd defiantly give a tertiary period to let remaining particulates settle out after the large fruited addition.  Body needs a large bump up in mouthfeel to round out the booze.
