Beer lovers can now experience the one of a kind flavor of a semen-infused beer -- stag semen specifically -- at The Green Man Pub located in Wellington, New Zealand.

The beer is called 'Stag Semen Stout' and is brewed using a special process. A stag, which is a type of large deer, provides the sample. Once the sample has been collected, it is later inserted during the brewing process and allowed to ferment alongside the other ingredients until ready to be bottled up and enjoyed.

As for the taste, the drink has been described as tasting like a chocolate stout with dark coffee notes, paired alongside the rare taste of New Zealand bred stag. Supply is limited however, so anyone looking to try this unique beverage for themselves will have to act fast.
