HoooooooWeeeeeee! This shit packs a punch! If I didn’t know better I would think that this beer was brewed by Jameson instead of Crazy Mountain because of how boozy it is but it works better than baby powder on Aidy Bryants rolls so hats off to you. This beer has inspired me to rip off my pants and boxer briefs and sport a kilt because I have a hidden passion for wee heavies and this one just so happen to make me smile from the inside out. That sounded way weirder than I intended it to but I stand by it just like Hillary stood by Bill after having his “cigar” smoked by another woman. Now if you can, read this next part then close your eyes and imagine it to get the full experience and thank me later. Imagine putting on a swim cap and diving into a barrel of whiskey with your friends during the Olympics and winning gold for performing the most amazing synchronized swimming routine before a bottle of booze that looks like Evander Holyfield (1 ear and all) comes by and slugs you in the gut knocking you out of the barrel before landing on your ass in a pile of spongy moss and taking a little bite just to see how it tastes. After reading that back, I’m pretty sure that is the most accurate description I could give this beer so I’m sticking with it. If you love a nice glass of bourbon on the rocks make sure you pick up this brew because the boozy notes and scotch ale tastes are powerful yet balanced enough to have you polishing off this 10.5% ABV brew in one sitting. If you are new to the style, this is not the ideal starting point because this will bend you over and have it’s way with you with it’s strong taste but for you pros, grab it, love it, drink it, and tell your friends. Prost!
