Took at least 6 weeks to start smoothing out, and i wasn't impressed with it. Left it a few more weeks, and it started smoothing out nicely, and i started enjoying it a lot. I now have one single bottle left. Sunday arvo, im going to open some stilton, start with a few pale milds, and then open my last bottle.
