Arabic Coffee Porter - Bottled

Bottled the Arabic Coffee Porter. I ended up adding about a cup of strong brewed coffee to the bucket, but no additional cardamom, even though I created a spice tea for emergency additions.

The final gravity came to 1.020, giving me a low attenuation of about 63% and an abv of 4.75%. The low attenuation concerns me a little, but we'll let it ride. Primed with 3 ounces of sugar for a little over 2 volumes of CO2.

Tough to tell a lot about it at this point, but it's got significant cardamom flavor and noticeable coffee. I want to see how it all balances out once it's carbed up before passing any sort of judgment.
