berrywise says I still don’t understand black holes
February 24th, 2008
but I do understand my enjoyment of this beer. I had it twice. Once on tap at Stub and Herb’s and then also by behemoth bottle poured into glass in my own living room. Now I do enjoy my living room’s ambiance to that of Stub and Herb’s but the taste of this beer on draft definitely kicked the butt of its bottle brethren. No matter both were most delectable.
