    Happy Saturday, BA!

    I wanted to start today's thread to show off my stovepipe (I think that's what you call them) of Bell's Hazy Hearted IPA, muled to Oz from Detroit a few weeks back by a helpful friend. It's one week from its best-by date, and therefore bitter and muted, but I'm happy to drink a beer I'd otherwise never get my hands on!

    What's your Saturday tipple?

    Cheers!

    Good People Brewing Snake Handler DIPA

    [​IMG]

    Golden amberish color with thick white cap and good lacing.

    Steady on aroma of rich malt with a touch of caramel. Hops are a melange of sharp, clean, bitter hop goodness served up by the bushel basket full.

    Wow, this is one whopper of a beer. It reminds me of my Great Uncle Ernest's old plow mule that was massive in size but quick on his feet. At 10% ABV you expect a beer of substance but this bad boy is on a whole new level. The rich caramely malt gives no ground to other brews that strive for full flavor. This thing arrives like a dark thunder cloud yet on tasting it's not heavy so much as deeply rich. Hob presence is a multi layered full on rush that perfectly offsets the mountain of malt yet comes across as an equal, a counterpoint as well as a complement.

    My take on this beer experience is buy it if you can find it.
