I figured... why not toss a box of my favorite cereal into the mash? Should be interesting... we'll see. I had a really bad stuck mash with this one til my girlfriend punched the top of the mash tun LOL! Amazing!
A bit more hoppy than I expected.

The brew is a bit oily (for lack of a better phrase) & the head retention sucks. Tastes real good though :-) If I re-brew this, I'd also go a little lighter on the hops.
