Maroon Monsoon - Re-brew

With this batch I wanted to attempt to recreate my first all grain batch, an irish red that turned out great, except for the part where I over carbonated it in the keg. I really liked the combination of flavors in this recipe. The maris otter malt gives the beer a slightly nutty characteristic which blends well with the caramel, honey and smokey characteristics of the other malts. If all goes well this beer should resemble honey nut cheerios, and is recommended as a part of a balanced breakfast...
