Very interesting flavor with this one. A very rich caramel, combined with freshly buttered homemade brown bread. Low carbonation. Very smooth and drinkable.
Will make this one again for sure.

Any idea on the AA% on the Challenger?

I believe around 7% but I'll have to check.

For those that weren't at the meeting, this was AWESOME.
I think it's the best Bitter I've ever had, seriously.
Planning on brewing 20 gallons of it soon.
Thanks for bringing it fakr.
