Tired dog and a homebrew

I enjoyed the first of my batch of the White House Honey Ale (recipe posted here) last night after a run with Attila. While I assume he was sad that he wasn’t allowed a mug of his own, he seemed satisfied to simply bask in the warmth of the fire.

For being a brew that’s only been in bottles for a few weeks, the beer was nicely balanced, with a nice light-brown hue, and pleasant malty flavor to balance the lingering sweetness of the honey. There were minimal hop-notes detectable to both the nose and the palate, but I’m hoping that a few more weeks in bottles will age out some more of the sweetness, and bring the savory notes forward.
