BrewDemon's Hellfire Deep Red Ale with some steeping grains. Nice and clear. Good head with lacing and retention. Reminded me of Brewdemon's Wild Spirit IPA but less hoppy of course. I wonder if the two recipes share the same grain bill as they are both red ales. Anyways, I liked it!

Homebrew breakfast. My first 5 gallon brew, bottled 12/28/13. A simple wheat ale, 7.5% abv and it was really good. Just a little bit of hoppiness up front which is quickly replaced by the crispness of the wheat, nicely balanced.

I think I'm going to call this one "10:30AM".

That was a special breakfast. I'm down 10 pounds since September, down 70 in 3 years. :hammer:

Root Skier 4 words: beer and egg fart. so be kind to those behind you. ;)
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Edgar Allan Poe

That's was a really good breakfast/beer to top off what has been an exceptional week (exceptional is an understatement).

Funny thing is outside of skiing, I haven't had any other exercise since November.

Living the dream. :fillup :happybeer: :banana:
