After reading all of the reviews that this beer has sparked, had to try it. My friend and I just bottled it today, and I could not stop sipping on the sample we pulled from the little bit that was remaining once the bottles were done. I'm lookin forward to it in a few weeks. Thanks Cheese

Here's another one for you http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByCat.aspx?Cat=236

nothing to say but....:mug: thanks

I definately can't help myself as well...most of the time they are silent, but that doesn't mean others aren't aware of em'....I was at my parents house after having a few HB, and they thought it was the Boston Terriers... :cross:

Thanks for sharing that, i was thinking about trying it in the boil, now I will
