Brewday Notes:
[Lost – hackers deleted wiki]
I recall that the brew went very well. Hit strike temp and kept it for an hour, hit expected OG very closely, no issues.
Let it sit for a long time, 1.5 - 2 months in primary, before bottling. Got 57 12oz bottles.
Let bottles prime for a month.

Tasting Notes:
BIG HIT! Everyone loves it.
Malty up front, followed by strong honey flavor and mouth coating. High alcohol content is not at all noticeable. Big body and heavy sweetness make it hard to consume in quantity (probably for the best).
