I'd drink this over water 9 times put of 10 if I could. Salty, salty, salty! One of the saltiest malts out there. Nice malty flavors. Would be fantastic with pretzels. It's fantastic on it's own, so maybe I should say that it would be fantasticer with pretzels. I can hear seagulls and fog horns, waves, and creaking boats when I drink this - it takes me to the see and makes me wish that I were on a boat!
