22 oz bottle, the usual Lips of Faith series presentation from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Pour gives a lovely black color (in poor light), but a more traditional brown based beer in better light. The head is tight, and mocha in color with a nice amount of retention and lace considering the ABV.
The worry with the ABV of 9% is that the solvent alcohol may begin to take over the beer and rob it of its normal style characteristics. Fortunately it doesn’t, and the beer delivers all of the requisite banana, bubblegum and alcohol sweetness that one would expect. Lots of repeated waves of estery, fruitiness and a solid warmth from the alcohol in the finish.
All in all nicely put together, and the beer drinks very well.
Another tasty beer in the series.
