wow. real simple, one of the best beers in the world. for the longest time my goto beer, ive had this so many times, but now that im getting into huge stouts and barrel aged beers i dont really have a goto anymore. available year round, quality, consistent, reasonable price. $7.50 per 4 Pak, last year it was an insane $6.50 per 4.

pours beautiful dark amber almost purple? i'll have to check color charts one day to better describe if. Tonites 4 Pak must be very fresh, the hops jumped out of the bottle on first smell, on warming it's morphed into the usual malty, elegant floral perfume like beer it usually is. taste is very complex, big caramel malts, followed by citrusy, floral earthy hops that linger on the palate what seems like forever. apples and pears now, let it warm and the spice comes out, the rye malts making their presence known. before I forget this is also the most drinkable beer in the world. I've had it so many times, never a hangover, never a dissapointment.

I don't know what else to say? If I could drink one beer, and one beer only, this would be the one. tribute to the brewers art.
