Handwritten notes: All I know about Hunter S. has been gleaned from Bill Murray and Johnny Depp. I don't really get it - he as a lunatic who was incoherent and took a lot of drugs. So did Chaz Manson but no one outside of 12-year-olds with down syndrome and Axl Rose think he's a hero. I reckon the mystique that surrounds this dude surpasses anything he actually accomplished. Anyways, back to the beer. The taste is fantesticle - a sort of POW! SNAKT!! Campy Batman moment with the first sip. The taste is of a deep roast and liquor. It has a full as fuck, very sherry-like flavour. This beer is outrageous and I would only recommend it on an empty stomach and a mind full of negative thoughts.
