Comments from the outside world

"I tried out Mamba and I have to tell you I figured it would taste like crocodile piss. I mean how good Malt Liquor From africa can taste? You know, it tasted just like Ballantine Ale. Of course some people think Ballantine tastes like crocodile piss, but I happen to like it. (It was My Dad's favorite) It was pretty strong, I'd say low 7's, judging by the buzz I got after downing it (it came in a 22.3 Oz bottle) I mean it will never replace Colt Double Malt or Ice 800 or even Haffenreffer, but if I am thirsty and it is between this and Pete's wickedly bad crap, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another...."
