still in fermenter.  Fermented out really fast but has stalled at 1.014.  Hoping a few more days will bring it down a point or two.  Had some friends (all homebrewers) on Friday and they seemed to like the sample I pulled off.  Tasting VERY roasty but a touch sweeter than regular guinness.  Will be a few more weeks before I can really taste it!
