Ymm, Beer

[richardjackson199]

BTW, RJ199, the family beer mule was highly impressed and appreciative of the Shade of Lies for his mule-ing effort and shared one of the bottles with our son who was equally amazed so a hearty "thanks" from both of them.

So glad they enjoyed! Those were Incendiary - Our Darkest Days - both variants. No lie

We're certainly appreciative and enjoying the New Glarus delivery! Valentines beer right there, in this house

Opps, sorry for the name mix up; our son researched it when I asked and he told me the wrong name. It's his father's fault.

New to PBC. Pours the color of a porter, but with way more head. Malty, but with a good peppercorn bite. Just a hint of sour. I could conceivably confuse this for a black IPA, though. 7.3% ABV. Quite good.

Sounds like an interesting beer. I should've saved you a Black Bugatti, a black TIPA. Obviously wouldn't have been a fair comparison but *that* was a black IPA.

"Brewer’s Description: “Don’t let the name scare you. This hybrid IPA’s bitterness blends with the subtle dark chocolate flavors provided by cocoa nibs and chocolate malts. It is then enhanced by bitter orange peel additions and a dry hopping of Citra”.

Never had a chocolate orange IPA .

Haven't been overly fond of strawberry beers over the years. Maybe a Florida resident can sample and report back.
