http://www.bartowel.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=5571 soonish Smashbomb is back on the front burner. FYI - We got side-tracked working on Divinity. It is an Imperial Baltic Porter that has a few other tricks in it. It was brewed late in 2010 and is a vintage in the purest sense of the word. What can I...
