You sure about that ... they would name a beer after something you used to bank the fire (explanation on request for those too young to remember). I wonder how many will note that "Nutty Black" could be a tad politically incorrect, particularly so soon after the death of Michael Jackson. When I drank mild, the only thing that came in good sized chunks was my dinner as it left my tummy in rebellion against the large volume of liquid poured into it.
