Sniffing at your feedbag...
One of our more audacious recipes, Sex Farm is a pseudo-French farmhouse ale with St. Johns Wort but flavored with Caribbean herbs and spices. The gruitish mixture of bark, berries and assorted dried flora is dubbed Mamajuana -- lovingly purchased on Dominican honeymoon several years ago. You're supposed to steep it in rum or wine. We used a previously brewed Belgian Strong, let it sit for a month, and dumped it in at flame-out. It's supposed to "renew vigor" and the locals touted it as Island Viagra. The Farm's hops are Newport with a Saaz kicker.
It's nice. A bit funky from the Wit yeast, with a quick herbal bite at the finish. Half of the batch was bottled, and I think it can only get better with a little cold-aging. We might possibly send this one off to the NHBC for the hell of it.
So far, no one has noticed marked mood improvement or sudden raging boners after drinking it.
