Context: I've been wanting t drink this beer for a while. It just occurred to me this evening to give it a try. I've been worried someone might drink it thinking that it's just another 12 oz. bottle. I sipped as Lu and I hung out. The beer was gone by halftime of the Florida/Oklahoma game.

Would I recommend this beer to you? Yes. Despite the price ($7+), the complexity of flavors and alcohol (16% ABV) made this a super enjoyable drink. I may have to buy two more since R actually liked this beer.
