Clown Shoes Supa Hero IPA

Warmed from fridge to drinkable temp, this is bitter and wonderful! Oh so bitter! I've no complaints as this is right in my wheelhouse! Always love a bitter beer, and this does not disappoint. End of story! ID

Dark Depths Baltic IPA

Maybe I should have guessed from the name, but was shocked to see how dark this was. Wow, an odd blend as this tastes as dark as it looks, but is bitter as all hell! Clashes just a bit, but to put my favorite things altogether, you gotta expect it to be wild! Thinking this is like a Stone I had awhile back with the crazy dark/bitter thing going. Most people would probably say this tastes like shit, but it is a grand concoction, and I wanna say I can taste some Baltic seawater in this! Bravo, to see Sam Adams attempting something this original. Respect! No shit, this is dark, bitter, and salty, so I gotta go MB.
