Took a little shopping spree at Lukas this week. Here's a review of the first one:

Double Dog Double Pale Ale
Flying Dog Brewery out of Denver

A really tasty, quality double pale ale. Pours a solid slightly foggy copper-amber color with a huge billowy head. Nose is delicious, tons of sweet caramel and piney hops. The taste hits you hard: tons of sweet caramel malt up front, then segues into a very nice, drying pine hop finish.

Then this b!tch at 10.5% alcohol and 85 IBUs flat out assaults your taste buds and leaves you dazed and confused. A four-pack of these is kinda like spending a smack-induced evening with a sex craved Courtney Love. Was it worth it? It feels good while it’s happening. But then you wake up in the morning only to realize she’s bitten off your shmeckle. And you wonder if the bright red “THANKS” on the bathroom mirror was written with her candy apple red lipstick or your own fresh blood.

Not for the faint of heart.
