Dad's Little Helper Black IPA

Dad's Little Helper from Rogue made me want to break out all my neck ties and sing a song and dance.  One of the best black IPA's I've ever had.  It's only the 2nd and the first was a growler from a home brew kit, so there.  It's delicious.  Worth driving to Kellyton Alabama to get this mean double deuce.  Thanks Dunkelstien!

O'Fallon's Black Hemp

Nothing about this that struck me as being overwhelmingly impressive.  Too many samplers that night, that is for sure.  Seemed like it had a bad aftertaste.  All I know is that when I tried to do a Christian deed and I offered to finish my Monastery brothers Black Hemp in exchange for a Samuel Smith, he graciously took me up on the offer and O'Fallon fell back into my hands.  Probably won't get this again.  3 Monks out of 10.

Yeti Imperial Stout by Great Divide Brewing Co.

Yeti Imperial Stout is hoppy and toffee all in one.  Pouring it is kind of like watching a yeti make syrup. It poured thick and very, very dark.  Nice roasty malts with a little bit of caramel.  Better than the Samual Adams Imperial Stout.  Kind of like an explosion of hoppy sweetness.  75 IBU's and a high 9.5% abv it is quite an impressive beverage.  I insist on any Onions in the area to come over and partake.  Brother Red gives this one a clean 5 monks.
