Notes:

040307 - racked - SG=1.012 - will bottle next week
040404 - it took longer to get to bottling than I thought it would and the gravity dropped still farther which makes me glad I waited.  Highly hopped with a definite toasted malt flavor hanging in the background.  I think I will really enjoy this one.
