Interesting Fact
A bog is a wetland type that accumulates acidic peat, a deposit of dead plant material. Learn more on the Wikipedia entry. Even more interesting is that bog snorkelling is popular in England and Wales and has even produced the associated sport of mountain bike bog snorkelling.

February 11th, 2008
On tap at Stub and Herb’s. I got mine served to me in a tulip glass. The color was a nice dark brown almost black body with thin off-white head that kinda reminded me of the Darkness. Not a real strong foretaste but the mid and after was of heavy cranberry flavors. It really kinda reminded of mixing a New Glarus Belgian Red with something like the Darkness.
I’m guessing this one will be another divided beer as I bet there will be those who are not into a sweeter tasting beer. I really enjoy New Glarus Belgian Red and Raspberry Tart so this was a fun and tasty beer for me.
