– The off flavor of the month was benzaldehyde which gives beer an almond smell/flavor. Thanks to Mikael for putting this together.
– We discussed possible presentations on beer styles. Sebastian will give a presentation on kettle sours at the July meeting
– The beer we tasted was Allen’s Russian imperial coffee stout made with medium roast coffee and hazelnuts (7.8% ABV)
