One very late night a bunch of us wound up at my apartment opening up many unlabeled bottles of homebrew.

You don't want to open a can of tuna and discover that you got corned-beef hash.

Naturally, this isn't a real style, but I thought it would be subtle and, you know, undercover. It was big, hoppy and malty, the way a good barleywine is.
