I think I'm gonna lock myself up the night I drink this one lol.

Looks good!

Don't fear the IBUs. I'm finding the FWH really smoothes it out.

Ooh boy, looking forward to tasting this!

Really hope you guys like it! It was made with hoppy love!!!

Got it in the fridge chilling Derek. Right between the milk and the ketchup.

ive placed my beast in the fridge... excited for this crazy looking brew

I'm pumped for this one too

I am so looking forward to this beer but unfortunately I am traveling tomorrow, so it will have to wait until Friday night.

Thanks gentlemen. I had one tonight at my work Christmas party and I'm willing to take a beating if anyone doesn't like it. I'll say I worked my ass off on it and am very proud of it. It doesn't taste as bitter as one would think. Please baby jesus let some Brewnosers like it and G-Rock not to notice the crystal. Moohhaaaaaa. Cheers Boys. Holding my head high whatever is said.

Well its 12:04 and ive had a few mouthfuls.... I love the punch of hops and how it lingers for a bit after each mouthful. (kinda like the label! lol) Carb was on spot, and since i havent had the actually pliny the elder before and cant compare, but this is excellent and enjoyable. My preference/tolerance for hops/IBU's isnt as high as the rest of the community, but like Rubbertoe said "dont fear the IBU's" cause its really enjoyable

And now its half gone.......got any more kicking around? lol ill have to brew this in the new year!

4 Bottles Tim. Won't last long sir: This beer makes me think of the following link!

Dan you Tim! This on looks good!


We split the calendar and drew numbers didn't get this one. So if you do make this I want one!

Really looking forward to this one tonite. It's going to be a 12-16 hour work day for me today so I bet it's going to taste awesome when I finally finish for the day.

Although I haven't had a Pliny before, I'm really looking forward to trying this one tonight. I also have a Pliny clone recipe that I was thinking of trying next - the grain bill is almost exactly the same as yours, but the hops are fairly different. If this tastes as good as I think it will, I may have to brew it right after this Saturday's grain split

Mission accomplished!!!

Looking forward to drinking this one tonight, I made a very similar recipe a while ago and it was one of my better beers

That's a real treat Woody! Thanks very much. Thanks for the big bottle as well. There might be enough left for Kathleen to have a little try when she gets home. She likes the really bitter ones. Great Job!

Finished the glass rather quickly. It's very Moorish. I better leave her the other half bottle though ...and that's love!

My pleasure G Rock and glad you enjoyed. I hope Kathleen does as well.

She did.

Just finished brewing up my house red and now I get to sit down and try this piece of badassery! Lots of hops, enjoy the piney smell mixed with the citrusy. A little grassy flavor but not much, mixes well with the woodsey piney flavors. Malt back bone is big and handles the bitterness well. Great job.
