This was an attempt at a high gravity single hop-ish beer. I used Halcyon malt that I had lying round and was meant to be super hoppy and super alcoholic. It was great for about 2 weeks after it was ready, really good hop presence and the sugar additions gave it a tripel like quality which was pretty good. After two weeks it turned rank as the hops dropped off and the alcohol took over. Good though.
