Day	Entry
1	Temperature running high
3	Removed dry-hop spice and hop. Plugged in heater.
18	Dark green caps. Taste: had a lot of body and a good alcoholic kick. Not really the holiday nose I was going for. Also a fair amount of bitterness. Will be interesting to see with carbonation.

It's lounge-tastic!
