Batch Three Update Three

Since the batch four brown ale turned out to be a total bust and I had drained the last of the pretty good batch two smoked porter last night, I decided try my batch three altbier again. I have been letting it coolish-condition in my basement since my last sampling on the advice of Chris in comments. Good advice, Chris. The beer had lost all of its yeasty aroma and turned into a really smooth and drinkable ale. It now has a little malt flavor in the body and just a bit of mouth-drying hops at the finish. It has touches of other flavors I can't quite identify as my taste buds are rather primitive. But my buds do know what they like, and they have pronounced this beer ready to be downed on a regular basis.
