Just about perfect poured out 100% pitch black. And you know you just drank a good beer. When the clear glass you just drank out of is stained brown. This has 80 ibu but only the first sip is bitter.

Pours out solid black. The aroma hits you with solid vinegar and abv. The mouthfeel is some where between solid and sweet. The taste is all tobacco and cigar strained through a leather boot..

Pours out a very dark brown very close to black with a thin tan head. The aroma is slightly sweet and of malt. The mouthfeel is smooth but just average in thickness. The taste is very interesting. Really good beer for the price.

Pours out a clear dark orange with a wisp of a head. The aroma is of strong spice. The mouthfeel is thin. The taste is of very light hop and oddly weak in spice taste. I expected more taste because of the aroma.

Let this warm up a bit and it will surprise you. Poured out 100% black with a massive chocolate brown head. The aroma is smoke and charred oak barrel. The taste is bourbon, molasses and coffee.

A very black stout that is a little hoppy like most imperials. Not so much bitter as it has more of a bite. Smells and taste a little like molasses with a hint of licorice. I think the bite comes from the high Abv.

Pretty good ale and it went well with a cigar. The taste is just a little bitter but not so bad that it will keep me from trying another bottle. Think I will share the next bottle with a friend to see what he thinks.

Pours out extremely black with just a wisp of a tan head. The aroma is just alcohol and hops. The mouthfeel is solid and think. The taste is of a normal imperial stout but not special. It is a good brew and worth drinking again.

This is the first Clwon Shoes product I wasnt a big fan of drinking. For a Barleywine it had the aroma and taste of bitter grapefruit rind. Diffintly is a beer I won't be buying and trying again.

Poured out extremely dark brown almost black. I couldn’t shine a light through it. The aroma Is of bourbon. The mouthfeel is solid but not exactly thick. The flavor is creamy with notes of chocolate and bourbon. Plenty of malt to make it creamy and to hide the high ABV.

"WOW ! This beer is so black a light can't shine through it. It's a crying shame this is only a seasonal beer. Clown Shoes needs to brew this as a year round product. I have to drive a 100 mile round trip just to buy this product. And have gladly made the trip three times.

I don't care for IPA's but because this was brewed by Clown Shoes. I decided to give it a try. We'll let me say I didn't care that much for it but in defense I think this was the best IPA I ever drank.

If you are going to try this ale I suggest you buy two bottles. If you don't your going to be mad when this black gold goes empty on you. Lubrication is a good name for it because it pours like oil.

Pours out 100% black with big thick brown head. You can smell the maple and roasted malt. The mouthfeel is is solid and thick. The taste has maple without being overwhelming. It’s a lot less sweet than I figured it would be because of the maple. Mild bourbon and chocolate and very light vanilla. Best to let this one warm up a bit.

Another great brew from Clown Shoes. And this may be my second favorite Imperial Stout I've ever drank. 100% black with zero bitterness and great flavor. It's hard to find at my closest retailer I guess because it's so good they are always sold out.

Poured out hazy golden color with a white head. The aroma is undeniably coconut. The taste of coconut is not overwhelming but very present as is the lime. A very refreshing beer after working in the hot Florida sunshine.

This review might be a bit unfair because I drank this more than forty years ago. What I still remember is it smelled like a bucket of malt. And that it tasted like something I would slop the hogs with.

Growing up in Oklahoma this was the first beer I ever drank. On a hot day a ice cold mug,can or bottle is still pretty refreshing but no longer a beer I would want to drink more than two or three at a sitting. In Oklahoma we knew it as Colorado Kool Aid.

Bought some of these because I want to see the picture of the Rocky mountains turn blue. When the can got cold which it did. I'd have to say that is the most interesting thing about this flavored water.

Yuck ! How can this be even labeled as beer ? I guess because it is the color of pale ale. I wasn't even able to drink half the bottle. And that was on a hot summer day and it was served ice cold.

Mexican beer with a lime taught me a new was to drink a ice cold beer. I'm all about a stout or porter but these are still one of my favorites. However I find them pretty bland without the lime.

I love stouts and porters but I also enjoy a lime in a really Corona. However this is NOT a Corona. I have tried a lot of different brands of light beers. This one does the worst injustice to the original.

Pours out almost black with a nice tan head. The aroma is of roasted malt and coffee. The mouthfeel is really nice and thick. The taste is beautiful, full of rich malt and slight hints of vanilla.
