Beer Review; Flossmoor Station Collaborative Evil

Saturday, we stopped at Flossmoor Station for the release of Collaborative Evil. We aren't mug club members, but we've been to Flossmoor like 5 times this year, so we might as well join up.

After going through the line outside to get the beer (and two bottles of De Wilde Zuidentrein) we went inside to eat. As mentioned before, I ordered "the burrito that ate flossmoor" (steak) Kriddy got my usual Fish and Chips.

Kriddy had the amber; I ordered the Collaborative Evil.

It came in a nice big chalice. It came out a thick brown with bubbles and other stuff suspended in the glass. There wasn't much head to speak of, but it did lace nicely.

It smelled malty and sweet, like sugar, also there were notes of spices in it. A less full pour would have released more flavor, but hey, it was on draft, so you take what they give you. This beer sat on the tongue like syrup. Even though the head looked to be fizzy, there was no fizz whatsoever in it.

It tasted of raisin, alcohol, and spices. But mostly, it tasted sweet. It was delicious.

This beer would be great to for sipping on a day when you have nothing else to do. It'd be perfect for just sitting around, reading a book or (beer) magazine. It's the kind of beer you'd want to drink while sitting in a big comfy overstuffed chair, while reading a leather bound book. Heck, you might even want to drink this beer at room temperature. You should wear an ascot while drinking this beer.

This beer will put you on a higher rung of the social ladder.

At 10% ABV it's not the strongest beer on the market, but if you drank it fast enough, it'd get you toasted. It was $12 a bottle, which is pretty low for a one time release beer. It is not on ebay yet.

If you can find this beer (you'll need a friend) get it. You won't be disappointed. (Unless it seems I hyped it too much, then you can blame me).
