Ancient Sarcastic Doorman

Well, maybe not ancient.

The Sarcastic Brown (that one glass looked amber, but it's been pretty brown in all other lighting) has turned out to be a bit of a blessing, in that the Home Brewers' Guild meeting has a brown ale theme this month and I wouldn't have had one otherwise.

But, I have just discovered in the back of the brewing closet a few liters of the "failed" batch before this one, which has in fact been greatly mellowed and smoothed out by the extended secondary, so I'm going to bottle it sometime this week and see what people think.  I don't think I'll make it exactly the way I did that time again anyway, but certainly it looks like some of the mistakes of that batch were less severe than they at first appeared.

And it is definitely, definitely a porter.
