Discussion
Hit with my friends, so-so for me

I brewed this the week my wife and I found out she was pregnant. I cracked open my first one 9 months later, when Lily was born. Strong warming, alcohol flavor. Very malty, too much for me in fact. My non-homebrewer friends really liked it, but I think it needs more hops to balance the malt.
