For My 33rd

I enjoyed a great b'fast with Pops, got a new running shirt, gambled and lost, had some Alaskan King Crab legs (to support the Deadliest Catch) and lobster tails (to support Lobster Wars), had my first Maker's Mark cigar (thanks to Momma Neese), tried the Belgian Tripel (Ménage à Frank) and it was great. The malt and raisins blow you away at 7.4%abv. I am looking to either rename this one or find a strong ale recipe that I like and call it Mitchell's Gibbet. Named after Anthony Mitchell, one of the last victims of the Halifax Gibbet torture device. Just another Mitchell boy making history when his remains were found in the 1800s at the base of the original.
