BBQ Bob's Big Kahuna and Gonzo for Gorgonzola!
BBQ Bob's Big Kahuna Barley Wine and "Gonzo for Gorgonzola".Listen to the Show Here!
Like the North Shore in winter, this bad boy will crush you with its awesome flavor and power.
Folks, this is smashmouth hops at its best - yet extremely smooth and balanced!
I've broke the mold with this one - best extract kit barley wine I've ever done. Period! And I'm bein' modest. ;-)
Gonzo for Gorgonzola will go perfectly with this barley wine - and it's also perfect as an appetizer for this Thanksgiving. It's gonna be one of mine for sure.
These two heavyweights are gonna knock it out on my tastebuds. I'll be sure to let you know who wins the bout and how many rounds it takes!
God Bless!
