I like this. We do a method very similar to this for pheasant/quail only we use a roux as a thickener instead of cheese. Thanks for sharing...;-)~ Jim

Thank you very much for your comment. if you have that pheasant/quail recipe handy i would love it if you post it! By the way, the thickener in this recipe is at step 17, it is the flour paste. Cheese is only used to hence the flavor and blend the subtile brandy and beer aromas. Very important tu use OLD chedar though :).
