Notes

I came up with this myself!! Well, beertools helped, but I've been wanting to try a brew with honey, having found a good purveyor of raw honey. I mostly wanted to try it with Belgian Biscuit to see what that might taste like. I'll find out soon.

Needs to Age!!!

This needs to age _at least_ 3 months in the bottle.. it's just now starting to go beyond the "drinkable" stage and develop some character and smoothness.
