Brewed in April 2008

I brewed this in April 2008 and aged it 3 months before trying. Early fermentation with the high OG caused heavy head foaming. I used a blow tube instead of air lock for primary. Now 3 months later, it has a unique bitter/sweet/malty combination. I will brew again! Age well before serving.
