"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
I have been making this for so many years that I do not know where I got it. I made it before you could buy the beans in one package. We used to all get together and buy one package of each bean and make our own . This was really a group project. It takes a while to make it but worth it and makes so much you can have it in your freezer for cold days. I always served it for large crowds.
