Cam said to drink it cold, so I'm not wasting more time. First sip is interesting. It's a sweet beer with a heavy floral and spice taste. Cammo said that it has a high alcohol content, and I can believe it. I can taste the alcohol in there, and it's not unpleasant. Normally, a high alcohol beer tends to be taken over by the taste of the alcohol, and there isn't much left other than a vestigial hop bite. Not the case here.
I'm going to a nice gulp. It's a strong taste. The alcohol is more pronounced when you swig it, and there's something missing in the middle of the drink. It's all jagged shards of spice and malt embedded in a baseball bat of alcohol. I'm not against high alcohol beers, but there needs to be more. This is a better beer to sip than to chug, but the warning that it is better cold means I will have to sip quickly - and the best way to do that is to chug, so I'll have to deal with it.
As the drink progresses, and I get used to the taste, it gets better. Maybe that's the alcohol dulling my senses. Maybe it's effecting me in other ways to. All I know is.. Cammo, I love you, man. You're like the best ever.
Yup, that's the alcohol.
