    Bottled, a short while ago.

    Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

    Evil Urges is a Belgian dark strong ale with a deep dark brown color. A sharp aroma of chocolate and molasses hits the senses, reminiscent of a rich liqueur. Aided by additions of Belgian amber candi sugar, the initial flavors are sweet and malty, with some unique, dark fruit qualities. This full bodied beer is defined by its roast malt character and slight black coffee bitterness that lead into an intense warming finish. 8.4% ABV 50 IBU

    FINALLY. I cannot grill in the snow without Urges to keep me warm. I've been waiting for weeks for this post, thanks!

    They should sell those contact lenses at the Short's store...for both cats and humans

    Heh. I've had cats. I can't imagine what it would take to get contacts in their eyes.

    If you mean down the road from the pub, then you've got a second home close by. Lucky you. :slight_smile:

    Got some at a very small unknown beer store today. This beer is too much to handle

    Usually I limit myself one sixer per limited release. I may have to change that up for this one.

    There's a couple brews that I'm fond of that are either seasonal or limited release where I tell myself every time that the beer is better in my memory than it could be in reality.

    I'm pleased at moments like this where my memory is proven oh so correct. This year seems even better than last.
