Favre Is God says I’m ashamed
February 24th, 2008
I hate to say it…but this is my first go-around with the products coming from the Flat Earth Guys. I guess I haven’t seen it as many MPLS bars/taverns as the Flat Earth website indicates. This is a very good Porter. It definitely doesn’t pack an overwhelming punch - which surprised me - but I like that it is not over powering. Goes down smooth, and the general beer drinker should find this easy to drink. I will definitely be going out of my way to check out the Pale Ale, etc. from FE.
