Nice! How do you like the Halcyon?

This will be the first run. Probably not the best beer to use it with though....

Just having my first sample now, and it tastes pretty good, but it's just a little lacking on the hop snap. Luckily, the roasted grains help out with some edge. And good smoke. I'd brew this one again, just up the ibus by 5 or 10, maybe.....

Tapped it today. Tasting very nice.

Hey X, would you say this recipe is in the realm of UL's smoked porter? Hoping to squeeze in another brew day before long...

Yes I would.

Perfect, thanks.
