Notes

Entry #237 in "Just because you can"

Buffalo has a sandwich called a Beef on Weck (BOW) Basically, a roast beef sandwich on a kimmelweck roll which is a hard roll covered in kosher salt and caraway seeds. Typically served with horseradish.

This is my attempt to emulate these flavors in a beer

This is a bad idea
