Many thanks to HIGHPA for this 22 oz. bottle. “My” dog when I was growing up was a black lab, & if that isn’t a hang-dog black lab on the label, I’m imagining it is. Split with my wife.

Black. Head devolves within moments to the thinnest little ring around the edge of the pond. Smells like coffee that’s been tagged liberally with pretty creamers. Rich.

The Hyper Dog tastes like liquefied porn. I’m not sure I’ve ever had such a milky milk stout. A massive shot of lactose & sweet malt greet the tongue, followed closely by a blast of smooth bourbon & concussion-like booziness. Mid-palate brings rich chocolate, vanilla, with a roast that’s smoother than George Michael’s ass. Finishes even more smooth. I like harsh, but this has an appeal all its own. I could drink this solo. And I might end up doing so, since my wife is drunk off of Totmas & jello shots.

I’ve heard good things about Pipeworks barrel program & my first brush with it has left me spent & worn out. Fantastic beer, & I’m looking forward to the next one.
