When coming up with this recipe, I thought about showcasing the hops that Rod gave me (Brewer's Gold and Willamette) but homegrown hops that haven't been tested can be fairly unpredictable and perhaps low in potency. That would be fine if I was making a summer session beer but winter is creeping up steadily so I figured I'd go the maltier way and produce a beer that would be more fitting for the Winnipeg Winter months.
My prediction for this beer: Low hop bitterness with a nice toastiness and a subtle nutty flavour. This should go very well with bacon and eggs.

(Rod's Willamette vine produced very little hop cones this year but his Brewers Gold was bountiful at about 9 ounces)
