FAQ:

Why? I wanted to try a Cock ale and nobody made one for me.

How does it taste? Chicken, plums and cloves.

Are you insane? Yep.

Gosh, I saw this recipe by English privateer alchemist who also came up with modern bottle shape and some advances stellar navigation techniques while trying to alchemically resurrect his late wife.

Was it good? Should I try it too? And one thing that wasnt mentioned - should the meat be thawed and cooked first?

Also, no, you should probably not try to alchemically resurrect his late wife.

aww but I'd totally do that if I had enough resources. And the guy himself too, he must've been quite fun person.
