Massive instantaneous boil-over from 1st hop addition; lost some hops but not too much...I hope. :P

I added the second hop addition 5 minutes early (25 min instead of 20) and the final addition was closer to two minutes not one.

Well without a bottle of Arrogant Bastard on hand to compare I am still really pleased with the results of this beer and will keep the recipe for sure. It's a nice complex and hoppy brown beer that finishes a little sweet on the tongue.

As the beer ages the hop flavor and aroma really beginning to stand out in front and the malty and slightly sweet finish backs it up nicely.
 
Notes

Made this as an Arrogant Bastard clone but it turned out a bit lighter in alcohol and smoother in taste. That being said this is an absolutely yummy hoppy brown that I will brew for a long time to come.
