Theoretically this was a great beer. I don't know where I went wrong. When it was finished, it tasted like coffee grinds, and even weeks later it still was not that good. The problem was definitely with the coffee. At some point I will try this again. I still recommend experimenting with all kinds of flavoring adjuncts.
