Whoa. Just look at that label. I think label with it's grinning evil set of white teeth says all you need to know about this beer: you're about to get your ass kicked, but you'll probably like it. There is what I think is technically refereed to by brewers world wide as a "shit ton" of malt in this brew. I also wonder if dentists fear the thick malt sweetness coating each of your teeth, but that nice image of The Beast's pearly whites on the label help counteract that feeling. There are six varieties of hops in this beer, which is interesting because they're hard to pick out of the flavor. And with such a high starting gravity the bitterness from the hops is still somewhat minimal. You only need one in a sitting and you can easily share a 12oz bottle with a friend and not feel short-changed. A tasty creature lurks in this bottle.
