Handwritten notes: Bitter as a winter's eve. What's the IBUs on this? This beer is more vicious than a steaming cup of Verona. Why do coffee and chocolate taste so much alike? I've got a lot of thinkins about a lot of things, but botany is not one of them. Also, what's the deal with Coffee Crisp chocolate bars? Do they have those in the US? Also, why do they call Rockets "Smarties" in the US? Our "Smarties" are actually a better version of M & M's. How can you have Halloween without Coffee Crisp, Rockets, and Smarties? The first 3 Americans to email me the name of their favourite Star Trek episode will receive, gratis, by mail, a sample of Coffee Crisp, Smarties, and Rockets. Maybe it's the liquor talking. What did Winston Churchill say about making promises while drinking? Anyhow, bring it on yanks. This beer is good.

LOL. Funny little candy-related rant there.

I just picked up a bottle of this stuff in my last beer run. Excited to try it, but I don't know when I will get to it!
