UPDATE 10/8/14: KEGGED, FG came to 1.012 (higher than expected? abv est at 4.20%) force carbed … a bit darker and more roasty than I had intended, but definitely delicious! with some roasted barley and oats, this would make a fine stout. With a bit less color and roast, and some chai, this would be DELICIOUS (consider also: lactose).
