Watching the Nightmare Before Christmas
and drinking a Deviant Dales just seemed fitting. This is a great
occasional beer for me. Deviant Dale's is Oskar Blues IPA that clocks
in at 8.0%. And let me tell you, after drinking one of these tall
boys, you know it! A while back I had the opportunity to have a head
to head taster with Heady Topper, and east coast fav that I thought
mostly closely matched a Deviant, and I liked the Deviant better.
Heady topper was most definitely hop heady, but in an engine oily
kind of way. Dales has a nice maltyness but doesn't have the hops to
cover the alcohol kick at the end.
I love beer! And not just the euphoric warmth that follows a couple of great pints, but everything about it. I'm adding to my beer obsession by journaling my brewing, beer tastings and beer journeys. Cheers!!
