Discussion
American Strong Ale for cold weather or after dinner

Brewed 10/29, OG=1.086 To secondary 11/7, TG=1.016 Put in Mini Kegs plus 1 12oz test bottle on 11/15. Opened the test bottle on 11/26. Still needs some conditioning, but has a nice malt flavor. Obviously high alcohol but no burn. Hops quite evident, needs time to mellow. Promises to be a great cold weather brew.
