Brad, brewing is great fun, but I wouldn't rate it over sex. Do you blame him?

Sex is better than brewing, but having your wife get pregnant every time you have sex does not sound like much fun.

Thanks!

I guess I do my own tasting and decide whether or not to send the bottle conditioned or the force carbonated!

Well you could send me one if you want. I just drank my last Sam Adams Holiday Porter last night.

Nah, his sculpture sits outside, uncovered so he could not get flame on!

Probably would have tried for #6, but will have to wait a few more months

Everytime I think of Robert and his growing family, I get that Monty Python tune stuck in my head....

Every sperm is sacred.

Pete has 6 bottles of the Robust Porter ... 3 force carbonated and 3 bottle conditioned. The bottle conditioned ones were bottled 2/16 so they need at least another week.

The beer has a stronger hop finish than I like but it is within the style I think for Robust Porter. I'll probably cut the hops back the next time I brew it.
