The End of Two Eras

After Stout Month, I ended up with one last Winter Warmer (Brew Batch #8). I remember making this stuff on 2/13/05, I think I was dating Melonhead then, not sure if she was there or not I’ll have to go back and read the old entry. When I read the description on NB’s website and it talked about this Minnesotan beer, I was hooked. I think I was going through my first “dark” phase learning to appreciate something other than lagers. The color of dark kiln dried Indian wood is still absolutely striking (just put together a Sourav table for the new house;) There is little to no hop that is noticeable but the cloyingly malt taste is heavy. Hard to believe that a beer can still be this good over 4 years later!
