A single-hopped Chinook imperial oatmeal vanilla milk IPA aged in a brandy barrel, Shiaclops is a slightly lower-ABV version of #IAMNOTFAMOUSANYMORE.

Very limited release of 120 bottles, Shiaclops is a sequel to #IAMNOTFAMOUSANYMORE, Books & Brews' original Shia LaBrew. There's no way to rate this to style, given all the insanity. While the label description is identical, the ABV is 11.5% ABV rather than 13.5%, and there are some notable differences in the flavor profile. It also pours more a golden-brown, compared to the original's amber, but it retains the same finger of nice and creamy head. Some fruit cocktail syrup on the nose, but primarily grilled or roasted pineapple, followed by vanilla, brandy, and a touch of pine resin from the hops.

Over the top and fabulous.
