It was so rancid we had to chase it with shots of kentucky straight in order to keep it down (Wild Turkey, if such things excite you). Needless to say, said night ended with me propping up my friend while he tried to piss out a first story window that he (mistakenly) thought was open. Sogginess and hilarity ensued. Having lived through - and somehow perhaps even enjoyed - that, I can say with certainty that Heartland Brewery's beers are a fate worse than Thunderbird: For the same $6 and tastebud masochism, you might as well get a story (and some blackmail material) out of the deal.
