I probably spent more time on Final Fantasy for Nintendo than any other game for that platform. I could not beat Chaos, the final boss. I grinded daily, eventually weekly, finally monthly to upgrade my characters. I just could not get them strong enough to beat the game. Then one fateful summer, I went and visited my parents and my little half brother who was six years younger than me. And Joey, my youngest sibling, deleted my saved game. So ultimately, I never beat it. I’ve beaten other versions of the game, but the original proved too hard and time consuming. None-the-less, it was an incredible adventure.
And since it took time, we took time with this beer as well. Aging it on oak spirals for six weeks post fermentation. Prepare yourself for an adventure with the Final Fantasy Dungeon Ale… a Black Belgian Tripel.
