My Cherry Valentine Ready to Drink!

Well the title of this post pretty much says it all. My Cherry Valentine (inspired by Josh) is ready to drink. It should be pretty delicious! The cherry flavor is very hard to find but it's there - at least it doesn't taste like cough syrup! Also you should notice a significant honey flavor and a malty sweetness. Not too bitter either. Also, this is the first Pillbox ale in which I have used Irish Moss as a clarifier, so admire the clear and bright color of this one! Please enjoy and write back with some comments on this blog.

Video Blog: Racking Chocolburn on Chocolate

Racking is when you transfer beer from one fermentor to another fermentor. This helps the beer stay in a fresh fermenting environment and allows me to add a little more chocolate to the batch!
