"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

Put all ingredients in a large stock pot and bring to a boil. Place a cover on the pot, reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking until the beans are tender, approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
