102/1920) Home: My Beer 2.0 by me: **; this time I added extra hops near the end of the boil using the ones I have been keeping in the freezer; to do this near end was the idea of fellow at Toronto Brewing; like last time, it is extremely well carbonated; as far as the nose is concerned I can detect the honey I added to aid carbonation and the hops I added to the Brooklyn Brewshop mix; it is downright muddy - maybe I should filter more aggressively; bitter, mildly astringent after taste, a blend of honey and hops;
I think next time I will add less honey. It may be a case of me boiling away more volume than I think is happening.
103/1921) Plank Road Baltic Porter by Muddy York Brewing Co. of Ontario: **; 8.8%, 37 ibu; mocha nose; chocolate, roast malt, alcohol, especially during the warming at the finish; holds its own against some tough competition
