#16 Hammer & Nail


Brew date 12/13/08
Bottle date

Mini-Mash

In Theory - a deceptive combination of malts and hops to provide a dark beer with a lighter, more balanced flavor. It isn't too light, it isn't too heavy, it isn't too sweet, it isn't too bitter

OG 1.042 - WAY lower the advertised - AHS got their recipe wrong - no more recipes from them
