B's, MNF and Repeal Day!

Happy Repeal Day beer lovers!  On Dec 5, 1933, Congress repealed the 21st Amendment to lift Prohibition!!  HUZZAH!  Watched a little MNF, saw the B's ruin the Penguins and enjoyed a brew to celebrate!  For sure wanted more, but got an early morning at work tomorrow..

... Also happen to be drinking an 8.5% ABV 750mL bottle with a supposed 145 IBUs..  aWHAAAAAAAA?!  If that's true, slap a dress on me and call me Sally!  DAMN!  Grand Teton Brewing Co - Trout Hop Black IPA

A super carbonated, near-black pour with a surprisingly whitish head.  Sticky sweet malt nose, toffee and
molasses, with hints of roasted coffee and underlying grassy/piney hops.  Tons of coffee in the taste, some roasted malts and charred wood.  Hints of chocolate try to cover up thick piney hops with a nice bitter, dry finish.  This one was simple, straightforward and great.  Not sure about the supposed 145 IBUs.. certainly very hoppy and tons of malt do cover it up, but a great Black IPA nonetheless.  Would've been nice to see how much more this could age, however.
