My Daddy Loves Me, Even More than Beer...

That is the name of the beer I brewed at my local brew on premises in celebration of the birth of my daughter Karina Rose. She is perfect and the beer is pretty good. I mean really, it's not even close folks. Although I did celebrate her first day on the planet with a Westvleteren 12 that I brought back from Belgium about 5 years ago. It was fabulous. Anyway, back to the homebrew. It is the 1900th beer tasted and rated in my beer database. Candy sugar, caramel, clove, and touch of pepper on the nose. 9% abv. Distinct sweet banana bread taste. Immediate warming on the back of the throat. Light carbonation. Dark fruits. A decent beer, but not very complex. Not bad considering it is a home brew. I only had a 12oz this time...I will re-evaluate when I get to the 22ozers.
