Handwritten notes: Tastes like winter. Why? When I was a kid, Christmas was the only time all the boys got on tight-fitting itchy sweaters and wool pants and slapped on dad's cologne. Only dad didn't wear cologne. He just has that shit someone gave him as a gift for Christmas in 1975. Hai Karate, or some bottle shaped like a Roman column. It was rancid for sure, but we wore it. Do you smell that? Rancid cologne, pine needles, and sweat-soaked wool? That's what this beer tastes like. Sound good? Nah.
