Cracklin + Deschutes Abyss = Demonic Flavor Speedball of the Thrill Titans!!!

By brian | Published: January 12, 2011

Perhaps the closest I’ve ever witnessed to the philosopher’s gold being created, two flavors came together and wedded themselves upon my tongue, in the church of my nervous system, consummating their union in the eternal tract of every singing neuron of [...]

Brine vs. Rub Experiment Part 1

By brian | Published: August 28, 2009
