Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Dogfish Head Burton Baton Imperial IPA

Dogfish Head Burton Baton Imperial IPA
I avoid buying four-packs. I'd rather pay more and get six than buy four for less. I get it. They're powerful. Give me six. I'll drink moderately. This oaked IPA's heavy. Hop taste and smell are pungent. Dogfish makes tremendous IPA. Wish I had two more to knock back.

King of the Case: Great Divide Brewing Company

Wherein I will buy a variety case and decide what the best beer in it is.
Great Divide Brewing Company

Claymore Scotch Ale
Features a very smoky flavor. It's a little bitter with coffee notes, leaning toward the taste of a porter, but not quite getting there (thankfully, as I don't prefer porters). While it's described as a "Wee Heavy" on the bottle, it does not feel exceptionally weighty. Also, it is somewhat layered, with the power of the beer coming more on the finish than on the front end. A very interesting offering.
