I bottled my first homebrew, the Foreign Extra Stout, last Friday (11/4) and am supposed to wait at least two weeks before I opened one. Well, I only waited one week and decided I wanted to crack one open to see how progress is going.First off, the cap came off with a hiss, letting me know that carbonation is building up. The pour into the glass gave a good sized head.
The taste was about what I expected, but the finish was a little weak. I feel like stouts generally have a lingering thick and malty after taste, but mine didn't have much going on after the sip. Like I said, though, I tested this a week early so the beer still has some conditioning to do. Hopefully the flavors will balance a little more and there will be a stronger finish. From what I am told, the beer will only get better in weeks 2, 3, and 4, so I am looking forward to see how this beer progresses over the next couple of days and weeks.
