After crashing out the carbonation as best I could, SG came out to about 1.0112, which is within expected FG range.

Taking the chance to try it before bottling, I gotta say... not as spicy as I was expecting, but it's definitely got substantial kick to it. This is a sipping beer, lest you choke on the heat. As for the flavor profile... hard to say. Very mellow flavor notes, with low sweetness and bitterness. Definitely needs to age in a bottle before I start making claims to fame. But overall, this isn't too bad! I don't hate it, but it definitely needs work.

I don't know the specific recipe, but I did see a previous post from OP in which they showed that they had chucked a bunch of habaneros in

Infusion mash from a kit, here's the ingredient list.

Could not tell you the yeast strain, likely some generic English ale variety. Threw in an ounce of dried habaneros on a whim.
