Here's my Ye Olde Devil Nut Brown. This was my first batch with some steeping grains: 1/4 CaraPils and 1/4 Crystal 40. It came out nice. Great malt profile, no undesirable off flavors lurking. nice head with some lacing. So far, every batch is better than the last. I paired it with some Drunken Goat cheese and summer sausage for a tasty treat.

So, just imagine what your beer will taste like 10 batches from now! Good job! I don't know about the cheese (what is a drunken goat, anyway), but that sausage looks fantastic!

My Dad got me a bunch of fancy cheese for Christmas to have with my beer. Here is a write up on the cheese from Dean & Deluca:
"No, the goats weren't drunk. This all natural, semi-soft cheese from Spain's Murcia region gets its name from a process in which the cheesemakers immerse it in the local Doble Pasta wine for three days before aging it for 75 days. The result is a deep violet rind and a cheese with a rich, creamy texture and a mild yet tangy flavor. A dramatic addition to any cheese plate. "

Damn, I'm soooo jealous! That cheese looks awesome, bet it goes righteous with a good homebrew.

Double IPA brewed with a hop I've never used before: Legacy
Brewed on 11/24/13; OG: 1.076. Dry-hopped on 12/08/13 with 1 oz of Legacy hops. Bottled on 12/15/13; FG: 1.014, 8.1% ABV
I like this hop! Used it in 60, 30, 10, & 0 minute additions.
