HopScotch says Oh man…that’s not what I wanted…
February 24th, 2008
This is defiantly not a beer to have after a hard days work, not that I’ve experienced that. It’s the beer that you try to impress your friends with and say, “Oh yeah, I LOVE dark beers….don’t you? Or are you a pussy?” I’ll drink this beer with a smile on my face, and it’s really not bad, but it just sits to heavy on my tongue. I end up tasting it too long afterward, and it doesn’t go well with any sort of food…I’ve tried.
