==Brewing==
Originally based on Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine. Tweaked because we don't have a big enough mash tun to make a 5 gallon batch out of 23 pounds of grain. Yipes.

==Racking==
=== Flavor @ Wine Thief ===
Tucker and Eric tested this out with their mouths. It's a little nutty and brown, but also reminds of a stout in a way; a little porterish. Not very hoppy - our dilution lowered the hops.

==Tasting Notes==
== Kegging ==
* Kegged into [[Keg 5]] on 3/17 - the 4 gallon bucket. The other bucket remains. Tasted good at keg, but warm & flat so not a true tasting. Kegged by Sacha De'Angeli and Eric Stein. THIS KEG IS GONE.
* Kegged into [[Keg 4]] on 3/26 - the 5 gallon bucket. Kegged by Tucker Tomlinson, James Longfield, and Eric Stein. Didn't put on force carb until 4/1. Oops.
