Black Diamond Rampage Imperial IPA competes for Top Dog

With the final day of class behind us today and Thanksgiving this week, the school is throwing a potluck thanksgiving feast. I brought chips, 5 layer dip and a little RAMPAGE!!!

It'll actually be the Elephant from Black Diamond Rampaging, fueled by a maddening amount of hops, rather than me, unless you count my addiction to the bourbon pecan pie a rampage. If I have seconds, you might.

At 9%, it's a big beer that comes with a crazy label. The mouthfeel has flavors of vanilla and caramel with a tinge of citrus, all of which mix together as well as well as boys and girls at an 8th grade dance. Everyone looks good by itself but nobody is dancing. And coincidently, like any potluck this brew is a mixed bag and uneven. The demented rhino is a fun label, but it comes off as a novelty. Especially since it has red devil eyes. You know who else has devil eyes? Zombies. If there are Elephant Zombies around, then you know it's the ARMAGEDDON...rating.
