757. Pollyanna Brewing – Imperial Black Saison
It’s Sunday and I’ve spent most of the day working on computer issues. My computer is to the point I have to reinstall the operating system and basically start over.

Location: Poured into a large Sam Adams Perfect pint glass at my home in Bloomington, IL. Numbers: 5.6% ABV, ~170 Calories...
