Notes
Stranglehold Bitter S.T.A. Stronger than Average. Added note: This beer is better if left to age for at least 3 months at celler tempeture. Aged in the bottle of course. It mellows the hop "bite" that characterizes this extreme beer. One day I will make this again with some slight changes to the hops and try to make it even stronger tasting.
