    Guess what was on the bottling line, today...

    Goodnight Bodacious has the maltiness of a barleywine and the hoppiness of an India Pale Ale. A rich, hoppiness dominates the aroma, with earthy and loamy scents. A medium body presents big, bitter black barley and roasted coffee flavors, with subtle compliments of dark fruit and green hops. Strong alcohol flavors and pleasant warming qualities become more noticeable as the beer approaches room temperature.
    9% ABV

    90 IBU

    No kidding. It also took a toll on my Boyne Highlands hotel room toilet two years back. Not like U of M fraternity bad, but still not a pretty sight. It comes out just as black as it goes down.

    One of the better black ipas IMO, wish they'd bottle that BBL version!

    Easily one of the best beers Short's makes, for me anyway. Can't wait!

    Sidenote: Carob Stout reminded me a lot of Goodnight Bodacious without the huge hop flavors, obviously.

    Goodnight Bodacious is one of the best Black IPAs I've had... I love the hop flavors in it.

    Just saw this on shelves today, didn't realize it was out already! One of my favorite black ipas. Had to pass on it because I was only there for the BA rasputin. I will be picking some up soon though!

    off topic, but I didn't realize BA Rasputin hits MI. I've only been able to land one at Binny's.
