Makes 3 BBL batch. Ashburne® Mild Malt was used as the base malt as I had some left over from our seasonal Hoptoberfest brews. Beautiful orange/amber color, this beer isn't too cloying due to the addition of the honey which also adds a great floral nose. I brewed this R&D beer on the 3 1/2 BBL "pilot" brewery I was using at the time. This beer was outstanding and served at the barley wine festival held at Dunedin Brewery in 2002!
