| Tasting: | As mentioned, this was a special batch as it was my 100th all-grain. Beautiful color and has quite the alcoholic kick but is quite smooth after extended aging. Approximately balanced in malt/hops with a nice hop flavor in early tasting at 10/10/10. The malt character is, as was thinking, a bit "muddy" from the various malts used but definitely has some complexity. Overall a nice big beer that I plan to pop a bottle on 11/11/11 and 12/12/12 as well. | |||||||
