Homebrew: Brown Sugar

This was a bit of an experiment, using some leftover liquid extract, some crystal 60, and some brown sugar. I've let it age in the bottle for six weeks, and it is getting better. It has fairly strong alcohol warmth, but with a sweetness to balance it. This doesn't fit any specific category, I was trying something different. Oh yeah, this was the first time I used a pair of 1.25gal glass jars (think COSTCO sized pickle jars) for primary fermentation, which I've since used on a couple cider and mead recipes.
