I took a gravity reading tonight and it was 1.013. That puts this brew at around 5.3% ABV. (Racked to secondary.)
From the sample here are the results: Aroma: Nutty, toasty, roasty, with some earthiness. Flavor: Roasted nuts, toasted malt, and some slight earthiness from the hops. Crisp, clean finish, to assist the roasted and nutty flavors to come through.
I performed a taste sample using the pistachio extract. I'm not sure if I will use it. The flavor was quite strong, lending a buttery, creamy, flavor, but overwhelming the the overall brew. (Could be perceived as a flaw in the brew.)
I will perform another tase sample with the pistachio extract at the end of fermentation, just prior to bottling to determine if I will utilize it. I may just stick with the Roasted Nut Brown Ale.
Cheers!
