First batch brewed using a new grain mill (the Barley Crusher). I guess I tightened the rollers a little too much and almost had a stuck sparge. 1lb. of rice hulls took care of it though, and everything turned out great. OG = 1.062 #46

This took 3rd place in my club-only competition on 3/4/08 with an overall score of 28. I feel that it turned out pretty good, but there is something in the aroma that is not quite pleasing. Sort of a "dusty" character. I am wondering if it is related to the highly crushed grain.
love the name...

I'm tempted to brew this just for the name!

As I suspected, putting a little age on this brew has made a huge difference. It's really starting to kick ass now.

This beer took 1st place in the Porter category with an overall score of 38 in the Enchanted Brewing Challenge (sponsored by the Dukes of Ale). The judges commented on the up front roastyness and background malt sweetness. They said it was an excellent example of the style which got better as it warmed up a bit. One of the judges wanted more roast and more hop character.

Opened one tonight. It's been in the bottle 2 years and has held up wonderfully. The chocolate and coffee characters are completely blooming now. I'm really impressed at how well this beer stood up over time. I'm also very happy to see that my bottling practices are adequate!
