In an ode to the Beer Report, this beer is f*cking metal! It comes in a six pack which would be great if you split between 3 guys. At 8.8% ABV, it a stout mutha. Imagine my surprise when I found this little treasure in the back of gas station’s beer cooler.

Appearance: Scant white head that rather rapidly dissipates. Dark reddish-brown that is clear. Has legs like wine, or “that” girl from high school.

Aroma: Rather subtle bourbon with some floral and malt notes.

Taste: Wonderful flavors of vanilla toast, if that makes any sense. I guess, I mean that it is very malty with a unique mix of floral, vanilla, and caramel on top of a grainy maltiness.

Mouthfeel: Very full feeling, coats my entire palette.

Overall: I really enjoyed this brew, then again I have been a fan of all of Lagunitas seasonal releases.

Redneck Grade: Slap your momma!

Sidenote: I was going to do a video review except a ‘typical’ blizzard descended on Montucky…next review.
