The inspiration here is childish adults and mature children becoming wiser through the fundamental genius of a power chord. The motley crew of Carton Brewing, The Happy Hour Guys, the cast of School of Rock, and Sing For Hope all joined together to make a powerful, yet simple hedonistic beer that would resonate with the rock that Dewey loves. Aromas evoke shiny black leather, cheap berry lip gloss, and aerosol hairspray, all laying on the driving rhythm of an American Black Ale’s bass. Proceeds for this beer will support Sing for Hope. Drink School of Hops 'cause rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme.

16 oz can dated 11/16/16 poured into Kane ale glass because why not?

L: Black with 2F tan head with decent retention, leaving some lacing and a bit of a cap and ring.

S: Lots of roasted and burned malts, smokiness and earthiness.

T: Straight-up roasted and charred malts and grains, pineyness and earthiness. Half-smoked porter, half-black ale, all very, very good.

F: Light to medium bodied, light to medium carbonation, good balance, heft, and construction. Good ABV without heat.

O: This is one heck of an amazing black ale. There may not be a better one anywhere. My face is melted!
